Dude, you know you are trolling. There is a material difference between whether you used VSCode or vim to write the code, and if you personally wrote or reviewed any code at all.

I'm not really trolling. I'm trying to push people to consider that the world is already in a state where "I used AI" is neither binary nor dispositive. I think we're used to a 2023 to mid-2025 framing where outside of some narrow, highly structured cases, the code is garbage.

If that's still true as a binary now, it won't be for long. As the robot likes to say, some of these changes are "in flight".

People should say what models/tools they used in even show the prompts.

Showing the prompts is not feasible when using agentic coding tools. I suppose one could persist all chat logs ever used in the project, but is that even useful?

I think it would be useful. I see lots of comments like "it one-shotted this" and am curious if they just had to write one sentence or many pages of instructions.

"rewrite" a nice code base without mentioning it is vibe coded is not great. Essentially you use AI to somehow re-implement the original code base in a different language, made it somehow work, and claim it is xx times faster. It is misleading.

I agree it's misleading. Ideally the author would disclose how much of the tree-sitter test suite passes.

Based on this and your other comments, including the one that’s no longer visible: Please phone a friend. Or find a professional to talk to. I say that with nothing but compassion.

For the people who are downvoting me: I’m being totally sincere. This is not an ad hominem attack. You didn’t see his other comment, it was genuinely concerning.

What comments are strange to you? I'm looking through history and everything is relatively normal.
