My daughter and my wife. My daughter is the most amazing, caring, wonderful person and I couldn't be more proud of who she is becoming. Every day she brings a smile to my face. My wife because she stands by me, supports me, puts up with me (mostly), and is my lifelong partner. My life would not be what it is today if it wasn't for her by my side.

Even looking at this make me twitch! How can you have ANY unread emails / messages or phone call notifications?? It's chaos!

I think the problem is a cyclical one. Some devs are afraid to admit that they used AI to help them code because there's so much hatred towards using AI to code. But the hatred only grows because some devs are not disclosing that they've had help from AI to code and it seems like they're hiding something which then builds distrust. And of course, that's not helped by the influx of slop too where an AI has been used and the code has not been reviewed and understood before its released.

I don't mind more foss projects, even if they're vibe coded, but please PLEASE understand your code IN FULL before releasing it, if at least so you can help troubleshoot the bugs people experience when they happen!

Built with Claude by the looks of things. Not sure if Claude was used to generate the boilerplate and whether the dev reviewed it after or whether Claude did all of it, but definitely Claude was used for some of it. I recognise the coding style that Claude outputs and the bugs that it implements that will cause TypeErrors if not handled.

FWIW, I'm not against using AI as an assistant for coding (I do it too, using Claude and Vercel as assistants) just as long as the code is reviewed and understood in full by the dev before publishing.

Nothing wrong with a professional developer with years of experience using AI as a tool for coding, just as long as they review the output first before using it in their project. My workplace (where I work as a dev) provides us with a Claude subscription to use it as a tool. It's kind of just like using a drill instead of a screwdriver to screw something into a wall - done well in the right hands it's fine, give it to a 13yo and they're going to drive the screw through the plaster and make a holy mess of it.

What IS wrong is a human who has little-to-no experience coding using an AI to develop the entire codebase and then the human releases the code into the wild without some level of peer review from a human who DOES have experience and then claiming it as their own creation. That's almost sloppy plagiarism (of ironically already sloppy plagiarism).
