> I created this
No, an LLM coding agent created this. You're not doing any QA. You're not even writing the release notes.
I hate people saying "I created this" when all they did was write some prompts and shove an LLM coding agent this way or that when it stumbles or asks a question.
You also clearly decided to not "waste" tokens on having the AI make test suites, or on having another agent review the PRs the first agent is writing.
The biggest problem with all this vibecoded crap: it's all worthless because the project leader doesn't even remotely prioritize stability and reliability. With almost every release the AI has broken something that was coded long ago, or is on try #3 at attempting to fix a problem, and the person running the AI doesn't care. "Ship it!"
This kind of "purity" argument is absolutely toxic. We've seen it with the vietnam paper comparing ORMs to SQL, etc. etc. Please stop this. You didn't hire him, you certainly aren't willing to give him a salary for him to live off of.
If you want to complain about LLMs used in software, advocate for a voluntary LLM disclosure published in the docs someplace, so people can make informed decisions.
This wouldn't exist without OP's agency; it's reasonable for them to take credit.
If there are bugs, etc., that's fair game. Declaring hate for folks because of their approach is not.
No, not really. If you used an LLM you didn't actually make anything. It's like if one commissions a work of art: yes, it wouldn't exist if not for your actions, but no, you didn't make it.
This got me thinking about what "I made this" means, when we're building on top of zillions of abstractions "made" by others.
I don't make the binaries. The compiler does. I just feed in specification called source code.
what a horrible attitude, especially for a forum dedicated to "hackers".
the code is open source, why dont you show us what a quality test suite looks like?
this is such a stupid, lazy take.
I mean, just think about cameras and photography. there's talented photographers, they know how to adjust cameras, they understanding lighting and composition, and yet the camera is what is actually producing the photo... but it's not taboo at all, for anyone to claim credit for taking a photo, no matter their skill level or the quality of the result. It's generally accepted that 'using the tool' is part of the process.
if someone said "i created this photo" it might sound like an odd choice of words, but you wouldn't find the need to 'set them straight' by explaining their camera is actually what created the photo.
you can be a hater all you want, but you're just as annoying as the thousands of vibe-coded projects that are annoying you.
