I had to use a vibe coded library for a personal project as the alternatives just didn’t work, and I don’t care about the bugs as it’s just for me to run the app one time.
However I did find some missing features I required that were easy to add, so I forked the project and added them. Then made a pull request.
But that made me think, would fellow anti ai people actually contribute back? Even if it was originally made with ai? Or would you go to the extreme and rewrite it yourself?
Update: after some reflection, I realised that it was hypocritical of me, as I got a rule of not promoting AI made content. I will not remove the pr, as they can just reopen it, but won’t do it again
No. Engineers today are over-reliant on libraries, which is enough of a risk without bringing in AI vulnerabilities and oversights. If there isn’t something that is already widely adopted and well maintained, I would just write it myself.
Yeah, how dare c++ use boost or the stl, or Python devs use the requests or sqlalchrmy library. 😐
