The code of the project absolutely does look like it was done with AI lol, it’s a single commit…
Claude did rewrote lots of my original messy code. No shame in that? But in the end the interest was in the underlying architecture, applied to nats protocol. Anyway.
Which is totally fine, I use Claude Code a bunch myself. I said nothing about shame, just that one single commit plus a website that looks vibe coded together has all the hallmarks of AI-driven code.

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…

Unlike you, I won't insult you despite you being wrong.

And the author has admitted at least some assistance here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46452907 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46452841 There may have been less pushback if this had been expressed up front. But also, what is it ? Is it to "test the architecture applied to nats" or is it to be a fully fledged NATs replacement (as per the impression given by table at the bottom of the website) - which be…
Fair point. And as what it is, not a nats replacement, certainly dont have the time to maintain that this way, a test/tech demo/fun side project that yielded super interesting results is probably the answer. As usual I'm probably way too enthusiast when I see some nice results like that and the goal here was to talk about that, but it shifted super fast. So yes Claude rewrote lots of parts, and that's what I love abo…
It is super cool. People just want others to be honest about it in my experience, for better or worse.

Dude, when I move projects to GitHub I also often collapse everything into a single commit. I do this to avoid having to check e-mail addresses and names in commits - maybe I mistakenly made a commit from my work account etc. After the “initial” commit making it all public, I start to work “in the open”. I see many others doing it the same way. That is NOT a reliable indicator of slop!
Good thing it's not the only signal then.

> Who cares whether it’s vibe coded ? As long as it’s good and well maintained over time of course Maybe 12 hours after the first commit is a bit early to be confident about that… > Maybe there is a niche market for artisanal software engineering where real humans make holes in punchcards, but I would not bet Or maybe there exist a world between punchcards and evening AI slop “projects”, who knows.
he’s been working on it for 2 weeks, as he said somewhere else
And he later said that he doesn't intent to maintain it:
