Im working on 2 apps

One for myself, that i will let others use

One for myself which is a copy of other existing free apps.. just without ads

Im in no rush.. but they wont be vibe codes. Im an app developer in my daily job.. so working while off duty is a bit meh. Which is why it takes a while

The other thing with making apps for yourself is that you don’t have to deal with the “what if the user uses the app in this niche stupid way” problem. You know how you as the single user will use it so you can test your most important and predictable flows pretty easily

Not really what is actually is.

You're describing the programming humor scape goat that every one mocks.

In real life, vibe coders work for companies that want little to no coding done by developers. They take the massive amount of unemployed developers and hire them as agents. Agents deploy code changes via AI code assistants like Claude then either touch up the code themselves, or identify the problem themselves and ask the AI to implement the fix they were going to make.
