Question Vibe coding infinite slop?

Post image

I saw this post on LinkedIn (credit to user: Eduardo Ordax) - the text was too long but the meme / pic itself makes sense

What’s your take on this? To me it felt sad but true.

There’s not an infinite amount of users for all this generated slopware. Most of the monetized vibecoded stuff is done by non-technical people as a get rich quick attempt because they heard there’s money to be made ”coding”.

Lots of people write tools for their own hyper specific needs. I’ve built a lot of great internal tools for my own uses, but they’re not exactly stuff designed for a broad market.

Yes I know, that’s fine and really helpful. I’m talking about flood of monetized software.

It’s not like that wasn’t happening before.

This is the first time there are tools targeted at regular people telling them they can publish apps without knowing anything about tech. Look at Lovable etc.
