It’s funny how with vibe coding nobody cares about anyone’s apps anymore.

Before you had to put in the effort - and people valued effort to give an app some attention.

But now you can make a crappy but working version of whatever in a few minutes. Low effort - low interest from people.

Even if the vibed app is more interesting and has neat features, people still don’t care because less effort went into creating it and it’s not as scarce anymore.

Scarce availability- people pay attention
Abundance - no one cares.

Based on this it might be safe to conclude that we’re not likely to see more people on nostr just from more vibe coding.

We can’t forget that the people we think we’d attract here are vibing their own apps, and burning out on their own AI playground.

So what does this all lead to?

I imagine down the road our AI tools will be so powerful but abstracted that you’ll just connect wherever and whenever without even needing to create anything. It’ll just be on demand via whatever medium you choose. Question is: how far away is this? And what happens in between now and then?

10yrs max. Look at Ai advancement in the last 3yrs.

First....a lot of the vibe coded stuff will break when everyone is forced to upgrade to React 19, and then 20. 😂 If you vibe React, and don't know how it actually works, you are F'd. Trash will get washed out, like always. The clear as day difference between actual engineering and posers is tha...

Btw. Good Engineers and Good Designers are still scarce, no matter what stupid hype says.

I think you’re right about people preferring “hand coded” apps to vibe coded slop. The feeling seems to be much stronger with the open source community though, after all how would you know if something proprietary was vibe coded? Sadly AI coding has become the norm. I was speaking to a develo...

I've never given a shit about vibed applications. I certainly never associated it with Nostr. I don't think most people care either. I use software that works well and serves a purpose. I have never thought about software in the terms you layout. The only thing I see as scarce is quality and continu...

Interesting thought. Probably true. What do you think of my app I toiled over a year to build and just launched?

We are definitely headed toward the world of “single serving apps” but I think for the next 5-10 years there will still be demand for curated software. At least I’m betting on that with the app I’m making.

I used to think shadcn was really cool but I’ve seen it used in so many shitty vibed apps that now when I see a shadcn site with a standard splash page with gradients etc. I pretty much assume that the site is gonna be half baked. I start to look for unique stying because at least if the user who ...

What tools do people use to vibe code? I’ve been wanting to delve into it lately, but I don’t know the common AI model that folks go to for it

Abundance destroys value. It’s already happened in photography, and we’re witnessing it happen with software. Learning a new app can be more annoying than the problem it solves.

the design space targeted becomes 1000x more important. Bitchat is a great example. It needs to be novel and use the tools to break new ground

It’s the worst state of this technology. Project 5 years into future and you’ll see it could be a ton better
