Vibe coders are NOT programmers, they are leeches, feeding from the blood of the open source.

I doubt that you know the OP's background and knowledge.

If someone on here would direct at me the insinuation that a flaw in my software was the result of me having "no idea" about what I am doing, we would not be having a civil discussion.

In my view personal attacks should be flagged, but I don't have that ability because my account does not have enough Karma.

Look at the commit history. Vibe coded in 10 days, with obvious AI generated commit messages. Look at the diffs.

If you can't tell AI slop from handwritten code, that's your problem. I won't censor myself because of your opinions.

There is no need for me to look at "obvious AI generated commit messages" or check whether the code is handwritten.

Personal attacks are still against the rules of this site, and that's why you, or in this case the commenter before you, should have censored themselves. This is not a matter of opinions.

Calling a duck a duck is not a personal insult, no matter how much the duck dislikes being called a duck.

It reminds me of the billionaires that like to constantly tell people they could have "studied physics" when it's so obvious they would fail out of any intro calculus class (let's also ignore that they could easily pay for the top tutors to "study physics") but just want to code as smart and not come across as a moron, you're going to see the same thing with vibe sloppers too.

Yeah yeah. This app is open source too.

That's even worse, they're polluting the open source space with AI slop. Anyone learning from open source will not learn anything useful from it.

Man, nobody is learning anything any more, those days are gone. Programming with actual code is a niche hobby or a hyperspecialized profession now, like demoscene coders.

Besides, even before LLMs, it's not like anyone ever said "you shouldn't have open sourced this, we can't learn from your code". We just didn't bother reading that code.

Telling off people who contribute is not OK.

AI slop is not a contribution.

This is a really embarrassing post. You stalked the author's online presence, turned up a TCP bridge utility, not really relevant to anything, and tried to shame the author for writing it, all so you can pretend you won an argument on the Internet?

It wasn't embarrassing that the GP shat all over someone's project, it was embarrassing that I pointed out that he gatekept people's contributions without contributing much himself?

Most people who contribute on FOSS seriously will not use github for anything important.

Nice detective work in an attempt to... ridicule my programming skills, I suppose?

It's a useful tool and I built it myself, with my own ten fingers, using my brain. That's more than vibe coders will ever do.

Meanwhile, your blog says in big text "I don't care for the joy of programming", so I don't consider your opinions on software development anywhere near relevant.

Excellent, on that we can agree.

Good.

Thank you for being a human that defends their craft against the wanton destruction wrought by VC + SV. They are destroying the planet to solve problems that don't exist.
