This Tweet ascribes a known phenomenon (creating software on your own, to satisfy a personal need or curiosity) to the new "vibe-coding" trend. This ignores lots of examples like curl, Linux, Unix itself and maybe even the world wide web. There's been absolutely nothing stopping writing your own software for your own purposes since the mid-70s or so.
