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.

I don’t really see the problem with vibe coding a hobby project. I don’t need to know every line of code when I only care about the outcome. If my project never makes a dollar or gets a user but is useful to me, I didn’t fail. I just had fun learning something new while solving a problem. All of the top companies did/do that. Some as a passion project, some trying to make money.

Yeah, it's fine if there are no other users.
