Looks like two somebodies got their precious knickers in a twist over the disclaimer at the end:
AI usage disclosure I use LLMs when working on my projects.
Please stop ruining Lobsters with your inane anti-AI stance. AI exists. It is really useful — it’s saved me a lot of time this week, doing boring shit I don’t like to do such as figuring out UniFFI and building infrastructure for generating and building FFI bindings. That lets me focus on the stuff I do like to do, I.e. being an architect.
If you want to be the Taliban and protect your purity, do it somewhere else.
you can be thankful for small mercies that they've stopped tagging damn near every submission with the vibecoding tag (I am not either of the two flaggers and didn't vote one way or the other on this submission, but I did notice that there have been several vibecoded submissions without the tag so hopefully that storm has blown over)
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as AI is, in fact, chatbots. AI is useful; for example, AI predicts the weather, checks spelling, finds paths on maps, and much more. However, chatbots are bad writers and as such are not suitable for producing code or any text meant for human consumption.
You're comparing folks to authoritarian theocrats not because your comparison holds water, but because you cannot stand the second-hand embarrassment of acknowledging that the chatbots are incompetent.
