I wasn’t actually going to say anything about this but it might be received ok (or at least balanced considering how much I despise the spicy auto-correct).

I looked at your App and it looked like it had potential, I even asked a question that apparently led to a change in how onboarding works.

However I prefer not to use LLM generated code. Especially not when it’s for something that will no doubt entail years of use. But my qualms and scruples are not your problem so I just shut my mouth and moved on. You’re building this, it’s to scratch your itch and you get to call the shots.

Me being uncomfortable with how you do it is immaterial, as a user I can and have made the choice to seek other solutions and so downvoting or trash talking you would be petty at best.

I hope as a community we can start to just say “No thank you” when we are offered something that’s done in a way we don’t like, after all, we have the opportunity to do it differently and make “No LLMs” a key part of our projects, anyone who is not doing that needs to analyse why they feel entitled to shit on someone else’s project.

At least that’s my $0.05.

Thanks for taking the time to write this out and thank you for the feedback that helped improve the onboarding process.

I completely respect your preference (as well as the community’s). LLMs definitely have their flaws, and they aren’t for everyone. For me, AI acts as a thoroughly tested extension of my workflow rather than a shortcut, but I know that doesn’t fit every project’s philosophy.

I really appreciate your mature approach to the “No thank you” mindset. I hope you find a solution that works perfectly for your needs and aligns with your principles!
