> Hey everyone, I wrote this tool...
Hey there. And yes, I don't you believe it's you who "wrote" it (where even the Readme file seems to be generated), nor you have experience enough in the so crucial subjects raised, to invest my own life time in the project, too, sorry.
I'll better consider projects where actual effort and human was involved believing in their art, knowledge, and experience of life they express in their actual, authentic, and accountable work.
Thank you, but I won't even consider a yet another AI/LLM slop which will not be maintained in a few months, nor anyone will ever invest their life time into, too. > Hey everyone, I wrote this tool...

As an aside, I've been vibe-cooking for a few months on a personal project that's accomplished something lovely. For me. I sometimes wonder if I should give it away much like this project. But public reactions like yours temper the thought.
With the first and only commit 2 hours ago, the author of this project didn't let it "bake". They didn't exercise it locally to see what issues it might have, and I have a hard time believing the very first iteration of this software is perfect. With how easy it is to prompt/push anything, I'm not interested in engaging with anything that hasn't aged a bit.

This applied to most of my side projects before AI. Most of them I would never touch again.
Thanks to AI I'm working on them way more, and at a much higher level of engineering standards (especially the recent models are voluntarily adding tests, looking for bugs etc.).
(Well, except for the part about barely reading the code, but I said higher, not high!)
Also I realized the other day that I already reached the point where I don't understand my own code, several years before involving AI in the process!
I don't know if I'm an outlier but I thought that was pretty funny.
I'm embracing the AI future we live in. It should be possible to build great software with AI. AI is good at code generation, but not testing. That's the other part of the equation we seem to be forgetting. With the first and only commit 2 hours ago, the author of this project didn't let it "bake".

You have no idea whatsoever how many iterations were done before the initial commit. The VCS log is not representative of anything that happened before the first public release. Even before LLMs, people would grind away on stuff until they were happy and then put it in a VCS for public consumption.
Sigh. We shouldn’t have modeled signal handling in a cross-platform, lowest-common-denominator way in HLLs. Signals have way less in common across OSes than files/sockets and the like.
Anyway, rant over. Not much to be done about it now.

I won't begrudge anyone who feels like it's too big a risk to engage with just yet.
