it ends when whoever buys their services realizes they're spending more with duct tape around generated code than just by using an open source library and giving credit

    I made an edit on this matter but yes it is indeed satire, apologies, however it's still pretty strange how they did this...i agree with you though vibecoding and close sourcing your shit is just so useless. I can't believe I fell for it but I'm relieved I'm not the only one, and again, despite what you said, how is this still technically satire if it works as intended? No matter how bad it is, the joke doesn't land once you involve money and an actual product.

    I'm not even sure it does work. Prime only tried trivial packages, but based on my experience with agentic coding, I'm not convinced they're able to deliver a fully functional package of medium size while being truly clean room.

    Also, there's an anecdotal comment on youtube of someone who tried this (on a small package) and they mention the clean room was violated (the AI added implementation instructions to the documentation), had performance issues, and the best part, the generated code had an MIT license. Now I wish Prime had looked at the LICENSE files created.
