Hmm, analytics appear to default to enabled: https://github.com/BloopAI/vibe-kanban/blob/609f9c4f9e989b59...

It is harvesting email addresses and github usernames: https://github.com/BloopAI/vibe-kanban/blob/609f9c4f9e989b59...

Then it seems to track every time you start/finish/merge/attempt a task, and every time you run a dev server. Including what executors you are using (I think this means "claude code" or the like), whether attempts succeeded or not and their exit codes, and various booleans like whether or not a project is an existing one, or whether or not you've set up scripts to run with it.

This really strikes me as something that should be, must legally be in many jurisdictions, opt in.

If you use gitlab, you can use the command line "glab" tool to have agents work from the built in kanban. They can open and close tasks, start MRs off of them etc. It's not as integrated as this tool, but works well with a mix of humans and robots.

Thanks, really appreciate the heads up. I put devs who do this on a personal black list for life.

I think also that this would be better as an mcp tool / resource. Let the model operate and query it as needed.

> human engineers now spend the majority of their time planning, reviewing, and orchestrating tasks This feel like much too broad a statement to be true.

I wonder how demographics (specifically age) tie into this. I'm well into my 30s and I found that statement absurd, but perhaps it is basically universally true among recent grads.

analytics stuff is fine but the email harvesting/github username appears to be illegal especially if its done without notifying the user?

great catch, many open source projects appear to be just an elaborate lead gen tool these days.

could you point me to what jurisdictions require analytics opt in esp for open source devtools? thats not actually something ive seen as a legal requirement, more a community preference.

eg ok we all know about EU website cookie banners, but i am more ignorant about devtools/clis sending back telemetry. any actual laws cited here would update me significatnly

Why do you need to "manage" your coding agents like they are people? How long does it take them to do a task once prompted, in the background? Don't you just prompt an immediately review the result?

I don't think smart ones are that fast. They can work for hours if you have the budget.

Interesting, I didn't know that.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I would assume because it was vibe coded.

More generously I'd assume because - It's an early prototype so they haven't dealt with fine grained permissions - They really do want to do things like access private repos with it themselves - They really do want the ability to do things like checkout code, create PRs, etc... and that involves a lot of permission.

every one of your "more generous" assumptions is the opposite of what should be their process. It's the equivalent of "vacuum up as much data as possible and then decide what to do with it". Not acceptable.
