       Has anyone ever sat down and considered that maybe people like vibecoding because it's actually pretty fun to see your ideas come to life? Making analogies to other stuff seems fraught with LLM stuff so I'll avoid that but it seems a genuinely large portion of it is people really experiencing the joy of building things that they think are cool

       Lots of people are not perfectionists about code or projects at all.Even before LLMs existed there were endless projects that people published that barely did the one thing they wanted and did it Very Badly. Think of things that should be standalone programs written as AutoHotkey scripts. I frequently encountered lots of YouTube videos where the creator had done things like that and I'd just think to myself "wow I can't even believe that worked tbh" or "well that probably explains why it didn't work so well for the video". But for a good portion of Loud People Online this kind of thing is never good enough.

       There's a ton of project ideas that sit in our mind forever and never get touched. Usually we have the basic idea of what to do but the scope of doing it is immense or feels that way anyways. Often it involves one or two things we don't really know and probably can't build the skill for anytime soon. Such as experience with GUI frameworks. I can definitely understand why someone would take an idea like that and throw an LLM in the mix to try and jump those gaps.

       I think the fact that people share so many of these projects goes to show that a lot of people want others to be able to use what they've made. I feel like that means a lot more than having used a particular tool.
