I'm sure doing two years of vibecoding is is a considerably more sincere attempt than "trying to replicate the hype and failing at it".
The field of "AI assisted programming" is progressing extremely rapidly.
Claude code (arguably the most recent large change, even if it wasn't the first of it's type) was released one year ago.
After watching the video I'd say that it is similar to my own reaction when opening my own code that is 2 years old. (To be clear, code I myself wrote 2 years ago, without AI.) Or even more realistically, code I wrote 6 months ago.
Buy it mostly reads like someone making an exaggerating claim to get s boost from a populist narrative.

Just under one year ago.
Language evolves; the term is now used to refer to a range of AI assisted coding. The concept has existed longer than the term.
This is exactly my experience with using Haskell after having couple of beers.
