Unusual tones all around in the thread here. My initial observations before reading the comments here: * "wow, OSS projects are starting to have some pretty wild landing pages, guess it's not just AI logos at the top of the README anymore" * "wow, all in one commit. was it vibe-one-shotted, curated private work that was squashed, or something in between" * "wow, Zig is kind easy to read although I really don't want t…

Is it bad if I work in private and then squash?

sure, i hereby disclose that he left in September i already said in another reply that i knew him personally

Well, in that case I'm curious... Why did you think hijacking OP's stance of "Claude did rewrote lots of my original messy code" with your own opposing position of "the project itself is not AI", and getting quite offensive about it, would benefit any discussion about this 13h old project? It's a personal project of your dear ex-colleague, mind you!

because he was been sending me updates about it for the last two weeks

because we've been discussing architecture, optimisations and benchmarks

because it's not a 13h old project

I’d invite you to reconsider the kind of language you’re using to interact with other forum members here. Dropping to profanities is not conducive to maintaining an environment that’s facilitating dialogue between its members. I’ve seen you at least twice call other members here “you idiot”, “get lost”. Etc. Have a hard think as to whether you could rephrase that without the name calling, and if at worse you can’t ma…

the way he came barging through the door doesn’t invite sympathy

That’s not an excuse for your behavior. Everyone here is expected to exercise a certain level of decorum.

Given that this entire project is a single[1] vibe-coded commit, I really doubt the author bothered buying hardware to test it. [1]: https://github.com/bustermq/bustermq/commits/master/

Who cares whether it’s vibe coded ? As long as it’s good and well maintained over time of course. Maybe there is a niche market for artisanal software engineering where real humans make holes in punchcards, but I would not bet.

Putting aside the whole presenting slop-coded things as cromulent projects, is anyone else tired of this constant myopic focus on performance? I don't need a message queue that can "saturate the bandwidth of the next generation of hardware". Rather I want middleware that is easy to use - simple to set up (not hundreds of configuration knobs for optimizing performance), reliable (can run clustered on a few instances on its own, not using k666s or anything, and handle instances going away for a few weeks if one dies or I'm reconfiguring things), has good semantics that won't encourage Heisenbugs down the line (eg look at MQTT's actual semantics versus how it's incorrectly used by Home Assistant generic MQTT endpoints), and so on. I get that there's no surveillance industry money backing projects aimed at individual users, but it's still pretty sad that individuals creating projects in their spare time are still focusing on features desired by the surveillance industry.

No, that’s very common and appreciated, especially when curated. All my comments there were musings, not value judgements.

Sure, the author just happened to one-shot a project and a landing page on new year's eve. And their writing style is just coincidentally very similar to Claude's. Who's going to buy that?

The repo being a single commit doesn't mean it's AI. It is quite common to first develop on a private repo and then clean up the commit history for the first public release.
