A single panel comic with a malformed, slightly damaged, yet freshly built home in the background. In the foreground, a man in a hard hat and a reflective vest is speaking to another man, presumably the buyer, saying, “It’s called vibe construction. I’m not even a contractor! Pretty soon all buildings will be made this way.”

    Hobbyist carpenters also don’t have to deal with like 99% of the regulations around buildings.

    You can just go make a chair, or a table. Frankly if code is going to be used in a serious large scale project it shouldn’t be the realm of hobbyists and if it does somehow end up like that they should be held to same strict code as the professionals.

      Frankly if code is going to be used in a serious large scale project it shouldn’t be the realm of hobbyists …

      Yes, exactly, but:

      … and if it does somehow end up like that they should be held to same strict code as the professionals.

      I’m thinking of things like dogecoin, which by all accounts was made as a joke with zero intention of catching on, but somehow became huge. The creator of dogecoin did not mean for it to end up like that, and by the time it did, it was out of his hands. Should he be held accountable for dogecoin to the same extent? I would say clearly not. But that sort of creates a loophole where anyone can make anything and pretend they just “never intended” for it to get as big as it has.
