I've done a ton of low-effort vibe-coded projects that suit my exact use cases. In many cases, I might do a quick Google search, not find an exact match, or find some bloated adware or subscription-ware and not bother going any further.
Claude Code can produce exactly what I want, quickly.
The difference is that I don't really share my projects. People who share them probably haven't realized that code has become cheap, and no one really needs/wants to see them since they can just roll their own.
The kind of code, with the kind of quality, that LLMs can output has become cheap. Learning has not, and neither has genuinely well designed, human designed, code. This might be surprising to the majority of users on HN, but once a really good programmer joins your team, who is both really good, and also uses LLMs to speed up the parts that he or she isn't good at, you really learn how far away vibe coders are from producing something worth using.
