Vibe Coding isn’t the problem, Gatekeeping is
More and more "experts" are panicking about vibe coders. About who dares to build without their permission. About who’s "allowed" to call themselves a developer.

Honestly, who cares? Screw this noise!
This is a free market. You learn. You build. You ship. Nobody is waiting for a diploma check.
If everyone listened to dismissive opinions, the tech world would be dead.
Yes, professional advice is valuable. Especially if you’re stepping into fields you know nothing about.
But let's be honest: In engineering, I've never paid for advice. Because real mentors exist. Because real communities help without keeping score.
Today, I give back the same way. No gatekeeping. No shame in being self-taught.
The real problem? Tons of juniors are scared to even speak because senior devs are ready to shout them down the second they slip.
Reminder: We all made embarrassing mistakes. We all shipped bad code. We all started somewhere.
Academic degree or not, it doesn’t matter.
Winners aren't the ones who know it all. Winners are the ones who stay open, stay hungry, and keep moving.
Do I laugh at vibe coders sometimes? Sure. I have a sense of humor.
But I don’t waste my time destroying them. If your tool works and helps me? I’ll use it, and even pay you for it.
If it’s trash? I move on. Quietly. No drama.
Vibe coding isn’t the problem. Fear is. Arrogance is. Gatekeeping is. Being dismissed is.
Let people build. Let the market sort it out.
Simple.
