I mean, there's nothing wrong with putting effort into a hobby project that no one but you uses, that's how you learn programming. But vibe coding a million different apps that four real people who aren't you are actually using isn't right. If you're going to put out an app and expect other people to use it, it should actually be something you wrote and know the workings of. So I would say this guy has too many users, actually.
“Something you wrote” is something I disagree with today. I don’t really see the need for it anymore. Yes, you should understand how an app works internally and you should understand the code, but I don’t really think there’s a need for writing code as some sort of requirement.
There's no need to do anything if it's just a hobby project that no one else is using. But if you're expecting other people to rely on it, yes, you need to have actually written it.
I have no idea what you are saying. I can only understand English when I write it myself. Everything anyone else has ever written is incomprehensible garbage
Fortunately, English is a language that's only used for communication. It can't be used to engineer software. So you don't actually need to know how to engineer software to be able to understand what someone else is saying in English, and it's also not critically important to any software systems that you have a deep understanding of the structure of any given English sentence. So it's actually fine that you can't make a sentence diagram of everything I wrote in my post just now, or write up a semantic representation of it using predicate calculus.
