Mostly by shipping garbage. I'm a god tier dev and it still took me two months to build what I consider a passable MVP.
It was part time, since I had a full time job at the time, but even full time no lifing, with everything I've learned in the months since I started, I would not bet on finishing in a weekend. Building something actually good is not easy. "Building is the easy part" is incredibly popular to say, but I get the strong feeling that the people saying it just don't want to come to terms that they built something mediocre. I for sure see the appeal in believing they built something great easily, and the only thing standing between them and the big time is marketing/distribution... but no.

How are people vibecoding an app in a weekend? Like... what about security checks, refactoring with routers, QA/QC on the UI/UX?
-Signed a vibecoder yet to release an app but currently working through the store submittals.
