>vibe coded, no thanks

I hear this a lot, the argument usually being "they didn't care to put effort into it, so it probably won't be maintained.

That's a reasonable assumption. It's basically the Lindy effect: The longer something has existed, the longer it probably will.

But maybe a Lindy effect measuring effort rather than time (as a signal of commitment). Git commits no longer mean effort since the computer can just make commits on its own.

Still, one day I expect to see a fully vibe coded project and to see that the guy has been maintaining it for ten years. That will probably give me a different impression.

We just don't know yet which of today's projects will survive, and which will be rapidly abandoned.
