Comment on Most slopcode projects are abandoned and deleted within months of release
RedstoneValley@sh.itjust.works 5 days agoThere is a crucial difference though, vibe coding enables people who are neither interested nor capable of understanding what is involved in maintaining a piece of software. Before vibe coding it didn’t even come to this situation: if you can’t write software you don’t need to maintain it. While there were bad coders and bad maintainers before, the numbers have now increased dramatically because everyone can pretend to be a software dev these days.
Right, like I mentioned, it’s a scale problem and how people feel about generated code. Abandonware have always been the majority of repos, because people don’t have time or interest to maintain most things they create. We just have more things being created now (whether they’re any good/usable or not).
