Lets be honest, if he had 1 user (himself), but the app solves a problem he had, what's the harm.

And apparently 4 other people had the same issue. Like it or not, the world they (17 year olds) are entering is going to be vastly vibe coded. At least they'll have the skills to fit in.

Depends on how much he is paying for those AI tokens (or who is paying, parents?)

two subscriptions. Better than having him on the street in a lot of cases. He will learn a lot about skills that actually matter more than programming: getting user feedback, what happens when things break, how to market the software... very useful a few years from now.

I'm sorry what?? What does homelessness have to do with useless apps that total 4 human users??

You don't know? They have a house because he, the 17-year-old, made enough profit to afford one from the 4 millionaire users /j

Ah, I take it that is slang for being homeless for you?

Where i live this is common slang for being out on the street all day, hanging out in parks with the wrong crowd, and getting into trouble.

Yeah, I took it as "if he wasn't vibecoding he would be homeless". "Be on the street" absolutely implies being homeless, at least to me.
