The amount of code committed per day suggest some kind of automation.
Also, a passionate programmer usually will add a "why this exists" in his readme.
I'd be very surprised if this wasn't AI.

Why are you assuming this was AI? It doesn't show any obvious indications of being AI. Maybe this is just someone's random side project. I advise you against jumping to conclusions.
Just look at the commit cadance, the bulk of the 8k lines of code was added in a couple of hours. Most commits 2-4 minutes apart. This is 100% vibe coded and it's pretty obvious.

I agree that he probably asked the AI to omit some common AI tells, like excessive comments, verbose readmes etc.

#17Sometimes when doing offensive security work you end up in the strangest environments with limited tools, odd quirks, broken shells, and god knows what else. But you know what is almost always available and just works? PHP.
Nop. awk, bash or some POSIX shell certainly. Perl most likely, despite it’s plunge in popularity. On a modern Mac, awk, bash and Perl are preinstalled with the system. PHP is not even necessarily present at system level on a PHP dev box as it might be only installed in some container.

People are weird, I for one started to use em dash more often — look at me!

Interesting that both you and nxtfari made essentially the same comment within an hour of each other, though yours is slightly modified

#20I bet claude was hyping this guy up as he was building it. "Absolutely, a rust compiler written in PHP is a great idea!"
