I don't know about you, but when the creator of a software says I have not read any of the code, I don't want to install or use it. Call me old fashioned. Really hoping this terrifying vibe coding future dies an early death before the incurred technical debt makes every digital interaction a landmine.

Agreed. If the author did not bother to write, much less read, their work, why should we spend time reading it?

In the past a large codebase indicated that maybe you might take the project serious, as some human effort was expended in its creation. There were still some outliers like Urbit and it's 144 KLOC of Hoon code, perverse loobeans and all.

Now if I get so much as a whiff of AI scent of a project, I lot all interest. It indicates that the author did not a modicum of their own time in the project, so therefore I should waste my own time on it.

(I use LLM-based coding tools in some of my projects, but I have the self-respect to review the generated code before publishing init.)
