Not an ai shill but I think it's fine that people use ai to make foss. You have no obligation to use it. And I am pretty sure that 80% of users with negative comments would not be able to program software any better i.e. more secure and fewer bugs. Ai made me a driver for a label printer to run on Linux. Code looks fine to me when I skimmed through it although I am by no means a pro programmer. I shared this on github. Shoot me!

Ai usage is not black and white.

The last one is the only part that matches the meme.

I really don't care if someone wants to create a tool using an LLM. However, it's hard to feel good about starting to use an application that has been vibe coded in the last month since I doubt that the author will actually maintain their work. If something works I don't particularly care about the details of how it was made, but I do care about whether or not the tool will even exist in the near future. There's no point in adopting a new application or tool if it's going to just be immediately abandoned.

I'd hate Rust, but Lunduke hates Rust because trans people write in Rust, so I like Rust just to piss off Lunduke's homophobic ass

It does make me sad that Rust is getting so strongly associated with slop. Personally I find it a really fun language to actually program in. The language being expression-based is actually quite handy, and is a concept I wish existed in other languages too. But it is also unfortunately the most sensible language for vibe-coding too because of the performance and guardrails.

It's way worse when they don't feel like they have to disclose that it's slop.

I got my first ever random contributor pull request for my little hobby project just the other day and was super excited about it. After looking it over and other work by the author, I suspect it could be AI written and that really took the wind out of my sails. I haven't confirmed but I hate that I have to worry about it

A month!? A lot of these fuckers pop up just over the weekend, and then are never heard from again.

Vibe coded garbage.

I don't understand why people do that when writing rust by yourself is so much fun!

Rust really has a reputation. Not only it is associated with slop and snobbery (slobbery?), but also with efforts to steal skill and capability from the community by "rewrite it in Rust"-ing FOSS projects into projects with corporate-friendly licenses that enable wholesale project theft and enshittification.

This is one of the cases where the actual thing is amazing but the fandom for it is insufferable.

There is nothing wrong with Rust. It's incredible. I've been writing code with it for years.

It is less of a marketing for Rust rather giving it a new name: Slop Language.

Not because it is slop, it is great but the way people are using it is not very great

I wonder how the rustaceans feel about their language being associated with slop.

Don't forget Claude in the contributor list!

“I built”

TBF, AI allowed me to make extensions for browsers for my personal use which didn't exists anywhere. So far, so good for me.

"Nothing leaves your device!"

I once considered it a privilege to be able to program in rust. Even before, rust code can be quite terse

With LLMs now, I see code that gives my brain an anneurism and programming anti patterns that I didn't know existed

Although I understand why LLMs prefer rust safety guarantees that make it difficult to shoot itself on the foot
