Because most people don't work on public projects and can't share the code publicly?
What's more interesting is the lack of examples of non-trivial projects that are provably vibe-coded and that claim to be of high-quality.
I think many of us are looking for: "I vibe-coded [this] with minimal corrections/manual coding on a livestream [here] and I believe it to be high-quality code"
If the code is in fact good quality then the livestream would serve as educational material for using LLMs/agents productively and I guarantee that it would change many minds. Stop telling people how great it all is, show them. I don't want to be a naysayer, I want to be impressed.
