Theres already a large spam of to-do list apps. The whole open source ecosystem is built around scarcity. No one was ever trying out your to-do list. I guess some like you try out all kinds of apps because you wanna see what's being built with nostr, but normal people only try apps they need. And if no other app like yours exists, your target users will find and try yours, not even questioning if you vibecoded it or not.
Amateur open source developers have always and will continue to be relevant on the margins of software, in the niche use cases that companies and more experienced developers haven't got to yet. The masses of additional software from vibecoding might push out the margins into smaller and smaller niches, but there will be just as much opportunities there as there ever was.
Honestly it's no different than the influx of Indians into open source projects trying to build up their github resume with shitty commits. In terms of both volume and code quality, I'd say vibe coding is a smaller problem.
