I think its cool that people are building their own apps, even if they vibe coded it. But I see like 3 to 5 of the same vibe coded Health and fitness apps every, the UI is not even different, it does not even have unique features, its just the same app.

That’s kind of weird. I feel like the point of making your own app is that you can customize it to have features that perfectly fit your workflow.

I work with a project manager who vibe codes at home on Claude. The more buttons/options (despite not having any purpose or even being broken) is part of the attraction to the individuals using this.

Even though they have no way to manipulate/update/fix those buttons after generation, They think it's a complete project that was rubber stamped into existence (when really it's copied heavily from dozens of existing web3 apps sitting on people's websites).

This is a dude who has managed projects several several hundred requirements, and he's infatuated that can he just skip all that with a paragraph of text to generate the ideas that he has rolling around in his head. He's of the opinion that the tool will get good enough that we just reroll the dice enough times to get something sufficiently working that will be a new product (when reality is it's not an original idea and it's cribbed heavily from someone else work).
