Indeed, and I don't think there's any reliable signal other than the author saying so that something is "vibe coded" vs. "I used an LLM for some aspect of it."

Perhaps a year ago “vibe coding” was indicative of a low quality product.

It seems many have not updated their understanding to match today’s capabilities.

I am vibe coding.

That does not mean I am incompetent or that the product will be bad. I have 10 years of experience.

Using agentic AI to implement, iterate, and debug issues is now the workflow most teams are targeting.

While last year chances were slim for the agent to debug tricky issues, I feel that now it can figure out a lot once you have it instrument the app and provide logs.

It sometimes feels like some commenters stick with last year’s mindset and feel entitled to yell about ‘AI slop’ at the first sign of an issue in a product and denigrate the author’s competence.
