Every headline when I was in college was "App J Sold for a Gizzillion Dollars." So, I figured I would learn programming and join the club. Easier said than done. Nevertheless, I started watching YouTube videos titled "Make a Clone of J."

In hindsight, it was a horrible way to learn. Most YouTubers probably benefited more from clickbait teaching than from actual fundamental teaching. Eventually, I was able to navigate the internet and land on an actual structured curriculum, whose lectures and courses were long and boring but taught you the fundamentals of programming.

I am picking up a similar pattern with Vibe Coding. Beginners are more excited about having a launched product wrapped with a band-aid rather than having deep knowledge.

Maybe the ubiquitous "to do list" app?
