Vibecoding is great for open source. Open source is already dominated by strong solo programmers like antirez, linus, etc. People with very strong motivations to create software they see as necessary. Vibecoding makes creating open source projects easier. It makes it easier to get from an idea to "Hey guys check this out!" The only downside to open source is the fly by PRs vibecoding enables which are currently draining maintainer time.
I think the solution to the latter is simply to maintain high standards in terms of structure and organization. I've always been a fan of KISS should override any other non-requirement of software. Any my non-requirement, I mean anything that is just subjective. Don't create complexity you don't actually need, or that doesn't make an outsized contribution to making other areas of the code easier to reason with.
Sometimes having dozens of one-off scripts is easier/simpler than trying to create the uber-flexibly one tool does all solution.
And make one PR after another, i can see how happy Linus & Co. would be of all the garbage features ;-)
