🤣 sure, I'll use a reverse proxy / waf that has a release change log "I don't remember lol" (Yes, it's in alpha, but still...)

Is anyone here using it? Are you scared?

Screenshot of github release page linked above. Under "Changes" it says "I don't remember lol" and under Warning it says "This is seriously messed up code"

To be fair, the proxy engine is supposedly written in go, not in nodejs, but yeah, the ddos defense most likely is wishful thinking...

    Of course I also see that the go spawns python and does stuff with that...

    And there's lots of other dubious issues that look like an odd mismash of intro level programming stuff with unfortunate performance implications, and a very strong vibe code smell, though the commit interval is a bit larger than I would have presumed with vibe coding, but the volume of changes seem AI sloppy...

    Well, broadly it looks like slop, probably AI slop, but either way I wouldn't go anywhere near this project...
