For others who are confused.

The author is someone in the demoscene who has been accused of "vibe coding" large pieces of work.

His counter is that if such things are possible, where is the vibe coded Photoshop?

He then goes on a tangent that "vibe coding" is a kind of easy accusation mostly levelled at "neurodiverse" developers

Which is why he ends the post:

    So.
    Where are the vibecoded Photoshops?
    WHERE IS THE THREAT YOU MADE UP TO ATTACK ME?

    I'm waiting.

AH! That brings the whole thing into context. So to charitably paraphrase the argument, it's something like: "If I used AI to produce something technically impressive, my human input was still an important part of the process. Nobody has vibecoded (AI-generated without human guidance) a photoshop, which is evidence that the human input/oversight is still important. Therefore my AI-assisted work is important/impressive/valuable."

Yes, I think so. Although it's a poor argument in my view: just because nobody has vibe coded Product X, doesn't mean his Product Y was praiseworthy

You are right. I was too close to see the gap. You did the work I should have done upfront. I revised the article. Thanks for the feedback.
