I’ve been noticing the “it’s not X, it’s Y” (or “it’s X, not Y”) framing frequently in articles, posts, and ChatGPT outputs, and was curious if others see this too.

Most of my exposure comes from using ChatGPT, so I’m not sure whether this appears as strongly in other models (e.g., Claude, Gemini)

Contrary to most Vibe Coding articles I’ve come across, which tend to be either overly enthusiastic or overly skeptical, my experience has been somewhere in the middle.

In this article, I share my experience after six months of Vibe Coding and launching three daily puzzle games.

That’s exactly what I found fascinating while researching this — the “why” seems to be part habit loop, part social cue, and part micro-reward.
