Not an ai shill but I think it's fine that people use ai to make foss. You have no obligation to use it. And I am pretty sure that 80% of users with negative comments would not be able to program software any better i.e. more secure and fewer bugs. Ai made me a driver for a label printer to run on Linux. Code looks fine to me when I skimmed through it although I am by no means a pro programmer. I shared this on github. Shoot me!

Ai usage is not black and white.

    I really don't care if someone wants to create a tool using an LLM. However, it's hard to feel good about starting to use an application that has been vibe coded in the last month since I doubt that the author will actually maintain their work. If something works I don't particularly care about the details of how it was made, but I do care about whether or not the tool will even exist in the near future. There's no point in adopting a new application or tool if it's going to just be immediately abandoned.

    The hate is at least partly because there is and has always been a holy war over programming languages. Your choice of programming language greatly affects me. The software you write in language A (usually) can't interoperate well with the software I write in language B. You end up with duplication of effort and many implementations of a thing, one for each language, usually more than one, with differences between them that makes things complicated. You have more choices when there are more languages, adding complexity to the making of software. I would say Rust gets the brunt of the hate because it's new, but in 2026 that's not really true anymore.

    I got my first ever random contributor pull request for my little hobby project just the other day and was super excited about it. After looking it over and other work by the author, I suspect it could be AI written and that really took the wind out of my sails. I haven't confirmed but I hate that I have to worry about it

    I don't hate Rust, but I do get annoyed by and suspicious of the evangelism for it I often see. This is by no means unique to Rust but it does seem to be seeing a very aggressive push even into trying to fix/replace tried and tested things that aren't broken. It has that feeling of aggressively taking everything over.

    How is someone using ai to code a meat proxy? The person guiding the AI is the one with the idea?

    I thought meat proxy is someone that uses AI to think , asking it everything and then just regurgitating that instead of coming up with their own thoughts or ideas.

    I don't know why people would hate rust. It is a fast, memory safe language. There is nothing wrong with it in itself. Its just that the fact it is significantly easier catch mistakes as it usually won't compile if there is a problem, which makes it good for AI to use as it is harder to screw up long term.

    I mean the majority of functions in the adobe suite are either not present or not working properly. It's buggy nonfunctional slop and there's frankly no world where it improves in a major way and stays supported long term
