@lambalicious @maggotbrainI do believe he is in his right to explore new technologies.If you have been trusting these people all these years, there is not reasons to stop to trust them because the use AI/LLM.These guys already demonstrate what they know and what are capable of, I do trust them.The aid of Claude can help to get his achievement faster than ever. This is the truth, and for a project with limited manpower, like Xfce4, I think that is clever leverage this technology.

Vibe coding would be having the LLM generate most of the code for him.

In this case, he's not doing that. This is mostly him using the LLM in ways to write up reports on xfwm4, scan for issues, and help with pseudo-code.

It’s easily saved me months of time, not in writing code (for non-trivial things, I can usually write it just as fast or faster), but in tracking down problems and helping me figure out solutions, whether that’s in Claude reading and reasoning about my code to find something that’s wrong, or in adding tons of targeted debugging prints to gather the information we need, and then sifting through the log file for me to do analysis.

@lambalicious @maggotbrain so that's why he chose Rust?
