    Please distinguish between "using LLMs to assist coding" and "vibe-coding entirely unusable software", abusing the latter accusation is just a form of witch-hunt. I've be using copilot since 2022 and I think it's totally fine. The only problem is large companies are trying to deceive inexperienced people into believing they can become experts by vibe-coding, but I don't think it's a problem for people knowing what they are doing.

    In this article the problem seems to be you are trying to run a project under an unsupported environment and encounter some problem, which feels just... natural. However I think instead of writing an attack manifesto the more constructive thing you can do is to send a fix PR.

    oh thank you for sharing my blog post! this one took a lot of work—I wanted to do my due diligence and not misrepresent things—but it's still really sad to see fasterthanlime, a software dev I once admired for their education and software, take such a dive in quality. i still wonder if there would ever be a way to make arborium work on my site anymore, but I'm really no longer interested after all this

      > take such a dive in quality.

      This feels like the crime here, tbh. If arborium had been written with a lot of AI assistance, but worked and had documentation, it feels like there wouldn't be a problem, but would be a huge success story for this.

      Instead, we get slop.
