It’s hard to take the name “vibe coding” seriously, and maybe that was the whole point, but I feel like AI coding is a bit more serious than the name “vibe coding” implies.
Anyone that disagrees that it should be taken more seriously can surely at least agree that it’s likely it will cross that threshold in the not too distant future, yet we’re still going to be stuck with the silly name.
And I say that knowing it will absolutely rule everything in the future - I'd bet at last half of all Show HNs are vibe coded apps now. Not long ago tech was seriously talking about monkey JPEGS being the future of global commerce and finance. We've been living in unserious times for a while.
I'd feel better about vibe coding and AI in general if I thought it would lead to more people learning how to do what it enables for themselves, and actually exercise control over their devices and creativity. But as useful as it can be - and I have to concede that much at this point - it requires depending on centralized AI services and isn't much better than proprietary code in terms of defending end user rights. I fear AI driven everything will lead to more closed systems and more corporate commoditization of our data and our lives. Unfortunately from what I've seen not only do many vibe coders not care, they don't want to care and they think anyone who does care is a slope-headed neanderthal.
So yeah, call it what it is. OP's app would have just been a simple web app ten years ago, it's just a quiz, doesn't require any deep coding magic. But no one cares about anything but the vibe anymore.
