It's very tempting to agree to the 'gambling' part, given that both a jackpot and progress towards the goal in your project will give you a hit of dopamine.

The difference is that in gambling 'the house always wins', but in our case we do make progress towards our goal of conquering the world with our newly minted apps.

The situation where this comparison holds is when vibe coding leads nowhere and you don't accomplish anything but just burn through tokens.

What? Your vibe coded slop is just going to be competing with someone else's vibe coded slop.

The motivations for wanting to make the slop could be commercial profit, or it could be simply you trying to solve a problem for yourself. In either case, the slop is the goal and, if the agent isn't giving you complete trash, you should be converging towards your goal. The gambling analogy doesn't work.
