It's crazy that in 2018 a cellular automata written in JS by a 12 year old was considered special (which it is) and today, nobody would even bat an eye because you can just vibe code this without effort.

It would still be impressive if it wasn't vibe coded.
Hold up, are you the type of person wanting to fire software teams because we can just ask the Product Owner to vibe code the new features?
No, I think the bar is just too high nowdays.

The projects I built as teenager spending weeks, it's just would take half hour of vibecoding now.

I'm going through this. It's demoralizing. I want to spend weeks coding something cool. The idea of asking an AI to do it in 30 minutes is like... what's even the point. I know I can, so why bother. I'd rather go get a beer.

It's like getting all the cheat codes and then the game isn't fun anymore.

No, and I don't even know how you can even read this from my post.
