papertowels@mander.xyz 1 day agoAm I correct that a few of you are mad that I included dockerfiles and docker compose examples in the repo? Where did I go wrong?
No, we’re not upset about docker. Did you read the majority of my last comment?
Correct. Saying you “vibe-coded” something up suggests that you didn’t do it yourself, or at least was only loosely invested in it. If you didn’t put much time into it, then it’s not as vetted for folks. Running your code on someones homelab is then akin to pushing the new grads vibe-coded refactor into prod, which I think we all know is a bad idea. The mitigation for that is for the user to vet the code themselves, which we already asserted earlier doesn’t really happen in practice. So we have two options, either push the vibe-coded refactor into prod, or acknowledge that we’ve introduced an additional requirement onto the users to vet the code themselves. Both are not ideal. I’m proposing that it is that friction that you’ve introduced that folks are upset about. The docker issue was just brought up as an example of what could go bad by running poorly vetted code on a machine.

I don’t care what you do but you are placing a lot of assumptions on the word vieb coded. If you’re interested, look at the code and see for yourself, that’s why it’s open source. If you aren’t that’s fine, because nothing is for sale here.

Do you understand why folks are upset though?
I have not had to look at the code for any other self-hosted application when considering whether or not to use it. You can say that this is a self-levied requirement due to the suspicions of vibe-coding, and I’d fully agree.
I took a quick peek at your github profile, and you’ve been working on FOSS stuff before LLMs were a thing (thank you!), suggesting that you are more likely to actually know what you’re doing. However when you say you vibe-coded up an application, you’ve placed yourself in the same bucket as the vibe-coder who’s ai agent deleted a database despite being instructed that there was a code freeze. Yes, it was a developing product, and not prod, but yeah you’ve advertised that you use the same tools and techniques as this guy, which does not inspire confidence.

Correct. I have been a developer for many many years and know what I am doing. Everyone making assumptions is an idiot
