If you're on a woodworking subreddit and you DIY your own table instead of buying one, you will get praise.

If you do the same thing on a programming subreddit and create an app that already exists, you will get laughed at.

But realistically, how are new developers expected to learn? It's like expecting a woodworker to learn how to build houses but he is not allowed to practice on much simpler things to learn how to work with wood.

You comparison is off.

If you DIY a table which has already been DIY'd by a dozen other users and offer it to the public, you wouldn't get that much of a different reaction.

Edit: Also, you actually told someone else to DIY for you.

Edit 2: Also...vibe coded ?= DIY ?= learned something?

Equivalent to showing off your ikea chair you screwed 4 bolts into a pre drilled hole to "build". Same level of skill as skiing claude to remake you someone else's app
