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.
