Weird take. Coding is fun (and has been since before AI). And vibe coding is fun in an entirely different way.

What's weird about it? I'm not disputing that it might be fun for vibe coders. Just that they seem to really like using that particular word.

I love coding and it is fun for me. Vibe coding on the other hand - not fun at all. It feels to me like playing slots.

But then again, I never liked gambling.

When your only defense is “I’m just having fun!!!!” after dumping your toxic waste in the net, it’s not a weird take.

Not weird at all. It's a common motte & bailey tactic, when your defence of the utility of something fails you can just say you do it for fun!!!!!!!.
