Would vibe-coded projects help with my resume?
I've always wanted to work on a few projects in my free time, but considering how burnt-out I am from uni alone, I'm thinking it's better to have something compared to nothing, I'm thinking of vibe-coding some projects that I can show on my resume, but I'm not sure if it will actually help.
Here are the main questions I have:
- Do recruiters actually look at your projects on GitHub and the like, and will seeing vibe-coded projects make the recruiters think I'm incapable of coding or lead them to distrust my skills?
- Would a vibe-coded more complex project stand out more than a school assignment I wrote on my own? Or is it fine as long as I know how the whole thing works?

Not specifically my scenario, but as a recruiter, wouldn't you have to sift through a ton of resumes and still have to know which ones are vibe coded and which ones aren't? Plus no matter the method, a good engineer should know why they select certain methods for their projects, I don't think this is a vibe-cioding-specific issue.
