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 Even if it was originally made with ai?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

    Yeah, how dare c++ use boost or the stl, or Python devs use the requests or sqlalchrmy library. 😐

      Real engineers write everything in machine code. Programming languages are a crutch. Reproduce everything from first principles every single time or don’t dare call yourself a programmer.

        I use a nano-scope to view input/output and then utilize an electromagnetic diopterator array to set the electron bits in real-time , directly on the cache. Any other form of programming is just plain lazy.

        I think not reproducing all but understanding how it is work inside is good.
