Can we not change the name of what we do? It's not handcrafted coding, it's coding. The other variant is vibecoding.

Can't believe you only accept people that write code by hand, stop discriminating people that write with their feet.

Nah, just kidding.

👋 If you would like to add your name to the directory, here's how to do it!

1. Edit this file in your own fork.
2. Submit the edit as a PR. In the description of the PR, supply some sort of social or technical proof that you have authored handcrafted code and it is currently in production. "In production" can mean either an app/service that people in public are using, or software module(s) being used by other publicly known software (aka an open source library).
3. We will review your submission and, if it looks legit, we will publish it on handcraftedcode.org!

What if I just copy/paste from stack overflow?

Kind of funny (or sad?) that lemmy itself probably wouldn't make it on the list, given they seem adamant on allowing LLM coding: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-docs/pull/414/changes

Curiously enough I wasn't able to actually find any lemmy commit marked as created with the help of AI, other than some bug located by AI without indication that an AI fix was used. I wonder if that means either they don't adhere to their own rule, or whether they're not actually using AI but just felt like really being pro-AI anyway. Why though? I'm so curious.

Update: seems like they don't put it into the commit log, just the merge request info: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/6304

Are we allowed to use LLMs to review code as long as we make changes by hand?

Sometimes but I suck in general.

Sometimes I just use the logic flow chart thing some engines (like UE) have. But mostly by hand. Never AI, tho.

I've used rpcgen. I guess I'm out.
