While looking for Discord alternatives I came across this project which looks like a great alternative for the kinds of Discord servers centered around Open Source projects and organizations. Ones where live chat and voice rooms aren't the focus.

It's a combination of forums and knowledge base that would be perfect for this use case.

Why would experienced devs join a vibe-coded project that barely works to overhaul it? Most of the time it'd be quicker and easier to start a new project from scratch with the same goals but coded competently.

You're bending over backwards just to come up with a plausible-sounding excuse for vibe-coding. But unfortunately, "plausible-sounding" isn't the same as "plausible".

Vibe coding might be "good enough" for a tiny private project for someone who doesn't know how to code and isn't interested in learning. But LLM's aren't good enough to build usable architectures.

And all publicly available human-created code was already trawled years ago, and the creation of more is slow. LLM's can't get significantly better at coding by just throwing more data into their training because there is no more data left that isn't already in the training.
