But why does Cloudflare, for example, need to verify my humanity on every website?

How is cloudflare supposed to know you’re the same user? That sounds like a privacy nightmare.

How do we fix it?

Just choose a different instance that aligns with your views? This is the fediverse, you can just do that.

This is for bankers and traders, not engineers.

As a counterpoint, sloppy projects are being shared all over and it’s basically spam at this point. Even /r/rust had to disallow code projects, because there was simply way too much slop being posted all the time.

People share projects because back in the day, a project with hundreds of thousands of lines of code with a cool website and a lot of features were evidence of a lot of hard work, a lot of design decisions and a lot of tradeoffs.

Vibe coding has made that a bad metric. These things no longer mean that any actual work has been dedicated to this project. Anyone could use an afternoon prompting an agent to build the same thing. There is no value in sharing such a thing. At best, it’s worthless and at worst, it’s borderline a scam, an attempt at disguising a project as something it isn’t.

I don’t think that’s a very nuanced position. LLMs can be an incredibly useful tool for programming. It would be silly not to use such a tool. Yes, it has its shortcomings and it can be used badly by amateurs but in the hands of a professional with good guidance, it can help a lot. Vibe coding doesn’t fall under that category though.

Honestly I would rather say “I don’t know” than adopt some random opinion from some AI bot. And I think you should prefer people saying “I don’t know” rather than just following what the AI bots are saying. Do you really want AI bots to decide this stuff?

Most of that is fair except

UI code is not part of the core business

That I definitely disagree with. UI and UX is important.

Still doesn’t make that vibe coded frontend worth anything.

I very much doubt the AI use is confined to the frontend. But I don’t see why the frontend is fine to vibe code while other stuff is not?

Using AI as a tool is fine. It can be very useful for programming. But “vibe coding” is using it to an extreme degree where the AI is producing almost the whole thing, with a very small amount of guidance or design from the user. That’s what I would object to. Such a thing has very little value, anyone can vibe code such a thing.

Is it elitism to call out vibe coding now? What a world.

Not to mention that their understanding of what tailwind is seems patchy at best, despite claiming that they have 15 years of experience.

Might be controversial but: the whole Israel/Gaza stuff.

I don’t know much about it. It seems super complicated and controversial. I even realize that it’s controversial not to have an opinion on this topic!

But I really can’t get myself to have an opinion on something that I am clearly no expert in, something that frequently seems to lead people into arguments with others and something that, sorry to say, really doesn’t affect me at all in my life. There are wars all over the world, dunno why this one is the one people have such strong opinion about.

If you think choosing tailwind forces you into a certain style of website, you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about.

And you clearly haven’t just used AI for tests. I wonder if the source is closed because you know how obviously AI generated it would look if it was open source?

Has AI been used to create this?

Do you really need to ask? 😅

Closed source and clearly completely vibe coded? Just look at the site, it reeks of AI. Even this post has so much AI-speech.

Yea, no thanks.

You may not agree with how we raise our kids around these parts, but it sure does work better than what you’ve got going on, you fucking worthless American pussies.

This is unnecessarily rude and derogatory towards many, many people, and not a tone we condone on Feddit.dk (see our site-wide rule 1). These rules also apply to you as a user when commenting in external communities. Please keep that in mind. We expect Feddit.dk users to be respectful in external communities, as we do not want Feddit.dk to be associated with bad behaviour.

You need to stop thinking like the fediverse is a popularity contest. The fediverse is not about anyone “winning”, it’s not about one app or service becoming “the” place to be. The fediverse is not like the big tech closed social media platforms.

If you like Piefed, you should use it. If you prefer Lemmy, use that. If you want to make your own fediverse service, you can do that.

If Piefed suddenly gets super popular, everyone wins cause Piefed connects to everyone else, like Lemmy and Mastodon does too.

A rising tide lifts all boats. The point of the fediverse is not winning, but choice. Everyone has their own choice to make about their use of software, and nobody has to force that choice upon you.

How do you know that data is authentic?

How else can you be sure the content is valid though? Lemmy posts are sent as Announces from the community, not from the actor posting the post. The community could just fake a post if you just trust it.

That’s not true, you know the data hasn’t been tampered with because of HTTP signatures. The fediverse isn’t just “yolo, just trust me bro”. There are some parts that are a bit more towards that side (particularly with groups on Lemmy) but I don’t think this should be.
