Its strange how hostile people are being. And people are assuming everything is vibecoded at this point.
IDK even if it was completely vibecoded, who cares? It's another funnel to bring people into the Fediverse. You don't need to use it yourself, just be glad that there's more ways to get people in here. It's a different design with different UX, there's always the chance that this will hook people who didn't enjoy Lemmy/PieFed/Mbin/etc. The more the merrier.
Because vibe-coded projects are almost never maintained. Usually they're abandoned after a very short time.
Also, AI is trained on stolen data, plus it represents a huge enviromental, economic, human, ethical and animal problem. AI should be completely banned from existence. Fuck AI.
Has AI even been around long enough to make that claim?
Cite your sources for this claim please.
I don't know if there's empirical data, but at least from personal experience I've noticed a lot of those projects are straight up gone after like a week. Like I'll see it posted in some Lemmy community, and I'll check it again later and the repo just plain doesn't exist any more.
A lot of others I see were created in a very short time, and then months later there's a dozen open issues and no response from the repo owner.
Not the original commenter but still, here are lots of them.
I’d make the point that most software projects, vibe coded or otherwise, are abandoned. I’ve made a ton of hand coded projects that I just am done with after a while. Vibe coding can increase your total output, but I don’t believe it means the person who created it won’t maintain it.
They won't, because they'll not understand the code at all, or barely understand it, and then there comes the whole deskilling problem.
If that happens then maybe its users will switch to Lemmy or PieFed when they realize it's the same network
I'm in the same position, I mean, I worked really hard to get MVP done, and I'm just a full stack developer, with 15 years of experience in the industry, and they say it's vibecoded because the UI looks well done haha. That's amazing, but in certain way I see it funny to be honest. It feels more like people those haters tried, failed and they have nothing better but attack XD.
I told one of them, ok, try to create one and see how it goes. An AI cannot do what it has been done here that's why it is so ridiculous when they say it is vibecoded.
the ui looks extremely generic, like everything llms spit out. and no, i've not tried to create my own fediverse software. you don't have to be a director to critique a movie.
The UI looks generic because it follows modern design patterns. Lemmy would look Generic 10 years ago.
lemmy does look generic. it looks like a generic bootstrap application. but it's generic in a readable way, without the glassy gradients and lighting effects everywhere. it feels like we're back in the dreamweaver days where you had to load a bunch of gifs just to get that cool drop shadow you wanted.
