The developer just "cleaned up the code comments", i.e. they removed all TODOs from the code: https://github.com/nkuntz1934/matrix-workers/commit/2d3969dd... Professionalism at its finest!

Incoming force push to rewrite the history . Git doesn't lie!

Days after the fake story about Cursor building a web browser from scratch with GPT-5.2 was debunked. Disbelief should be the default reaction to stories like this.

it seems as if literally everyone associated with "AI" is a grifter, shill (sorry, "Independent Researcher"), temporarily embarrassed billionaire, or just a flat out scammer I have yet to see a counter-example

I would not rule out that sometimes they are just incompetent and believe their own story, because they just don't know it better. Seems this is called a "bad apple"?

Oh wow I'm at a loss for words. To the author: see my comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46782174 , please also clean up that misaligned ASCII diagram at the top of the README, it's a dead tell.

Yeah deleting the TODOs like that is honestly a worse look.

I also use this as a simple heuristic: https://github.com/nkuntz1934/matrix-workers/commits/main/ There exist only two commits. I've never seen a "real" project that looks like this.

The repository is less than one week old though; having only the initial commit wouldn't shock me right away.

Hilarious. Judging by the username, it's the same person who wrote the slop blog post, too.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I get vibe coding a feature or news story or whatnot but how do you go about not even checking if the thing actually works, or fact checking the blog post?

Why?

Wow this is definitely not a software engineer. Hmm I wonder if Git stores history...

The outrageous part of this is nowhere in the blog post or the repository indicates it's vibe coded garbage (hopefully I didn't miss it?). You expect some level of bullshit in AI company's latest AI vibe coding announcements. This can be mistaken for a classical blog post. Although the tell is obvious if you spent one second looking at https://github.com/nkuntz1934/matrix-workers . That misaligned ASCII diagram, damn…

> Why is Cloudflare paying this guy again

Perhaps usage of AI is a performance target he's being judged against, like at many tech companies today.
