The buzz around Vibe coding reminds me of the NFT wave at the end of 2020.

Back then, everyone was rushing to mint and trade NFTs, market sentiment was high, and projects were emerging one after another. Now, looking at the rising trajectory of Vibe coding's popularity in the ecosystem, there's definitely a sense of déjà vu—community activity is booming, new users are continuously joining, and developers are actively participating.

Honestly, this is the most excited I've been in a long time. The cycle of Web3 innovative projects often goes like this: a certain track suddenly explodes, driving the energy of the entire ecosystem. From initial niche experiments, to being discovered by more developers and users, to forming scale effects.

How long this wave of popularity can last and how far it can go depends on the project's fundamentals and the real needs of the community. But at least for now, the momentum is right.

This wave of momentum really can't be sustained anymore. Why does it feel like every time we have to go through the same "this time is different" spell? I was also involved during the NFT boom. Looking at Vibe coding now, honestly, I'm a bit hesitant... Fundamentals are the key, don't just look at the hype. How should I put it, if the developers really stick around, then that's a real win. Here we go again, déjà vu of history repeating itself. I can't gamble on this. Calm down, calm down... Let's see how many people are still playing after three months. Haha. I'm a bit afraid of repeating the same mistakes, but I also want to believe this wave isn't a bubble. You're right, fundamentals are the baseline. Without that, everything else is just talk. Could this round be another "Summer Blaze"... Let's wait and see.

Uh, that's not right. When NFTs surged in 2020, I made a killing. This time, Vibe coding feels a bit different... Could it be another mirror market?

Oh wow, isn't this just history repeating itself? I still remember the craziness during the NFT boom. It all feels like the same pattern: hype first, then look at the fundamentals... Vibe coding is indeed impressive, but can it last until next year?

The NFT wave I'm in too, right now this feeling... really seems like it, just worried it might be another bubble --- Vibe coding has become so popular, let's wait and see, whether it can catch on is the real skill --- You're right, it all depends on how long this burn lasts --- Community enthusiasm is enthusiasm, but whether the project can take off is the key --- Here we go again, saying the same every time, is this time really different? --- Feeling a bit too excited, staying calm would be more rational --- That's true, but don't become the next XY project again --- It does have the flavor of 2020, but I hope this time we don't repeat the same mistakes

I haven't even gotten out of the NFT pit from 2020, will this Vibe coding be another harvesting machine...

Haha, I was also part of that NFT wave, but this time Vibe coding feels a bit different. Wait, are we going through another cycle of false prosperity? I find it hard to believe. You mentioned fundamentals, but I think most people haven't really understood what Vibe coding is all about. Following the trend and partying is so old now; only a few projects can really survive. Wait, no, this momentum is really strong, new players are definitely continuously entering. It feels like we're at a point where it's either time to buy the dip or run, hard to judge. People are forgetful—what about the lessons from 2020? Are they just repeating themselves? Let's see how many projects are left in three months; history always repeats itself.

Hey, I was also involved in that NFT wave. But to be honest, having hype alone isn't enough — it depends on whether the smart contract has any pitfalls. I’ve audited several projects before, and their permission controls are a mess, with integer overflows and reentrancy vulnerabilities everywhere. For Vibe coding, you need to carefully monitor the code quality; don’t let it be another fleeting story.
