Vibe Coding is OVER

Take a look at these three landing pages. What do they have in common? And most importantly: will you remember any of them thirty minutes from now?

All of them were made extremely fast.

This isn’t variety. This isn’t a brand voice. It’s the web converging into a commodity. Everyone’s work is becoming the software equivalent of the famous IKEA LACK coffee table—functional, familiar, and filled with sawdust under a thin veneer.

An AI-generated table would probably be named PROMPTA. It’s functional, but soulless. It blends into the background—until it gets in the way. Nobody knows what you sell. Nobody cares. Another blob in the header with seamless, streamlined, effortless automation.

We’re at a point where we out-vibed sanity. I don’t even mean “slop” anymore. It’s more like SPAM. When everybody can build without effort, the value of building goes down too—not because craft disappeared, but because signal did.

The mythical “end users” are already overwhelmed. There’s exactly 192 of everything. By the time you finish this sentence, it’s 193.

The chances that anybody needs your brilliant idea are extremely slim. People just… stop noticing. They scroll. They tab away. They remember the feeling of “I’ve seen this” more than your logo, your gradient, or your dashboard mock.

What actually changed

Speed used to be an unfair advantage. Now it’s table stakes. The unfair advantage is taste, specificity, and proof—the boring stuff that doesn’t generate itself from a template.

Vibe coding isn’t evil. Laziness isn’t either. But infinite sameness has a cost: you stop competing on ideas and start competing on who can finish the hero section first.

A small reset

Ship fast if you want—but know what you’re trading. If the goal is to be remembered, “effortless” isn’t a headline. It’s homework.

Pick a real problem, a real sentence only you would write, and a layout that would survive without the glow. That’s slower. It’s also how you stop being the fourth identical tab someone closes before lunch.
