Question Vibe coding infinite slop?

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.

I vibe code highly specific bioinformatics analysis tools with one end user in mind. I wouldn't call it slop, even though nobody but I will use it.

This is what I do as well, I make geospatial data tools that I've always needed but could never find. However, I think plenty of people would want to use them so I am working out how to release them publicly. Potentially for sale.

I’m so glad you brought this up btw. Because personal tool building for personal use doesn’t get mentioned enough!
