It’s unsurprising.
Normal development: Start work on new project, design it really well, start work, get bored after a week. Project 10% towards first release. Oh well.
Vibe coding: Have a buggy mess ready in a few hours, spend the next few days improving it somewhat, get bored after a week, app was already released by the time you quit.
It’s also being invested in and proud of the hard work one does. I don’t think these words mean anything to a vibe coder.
Well yes… If you get that far.
I literally can’t stay on a project long enough unless it’s work where money motivates me. I’ll think of a new cool project and start on that instead of the previous one.
I do also have ADHD to be fair.
Yeah I think that’s a fair point. And not really that far off for many of us too.
