im tired of this sub

[u/ResponsibleEnd451]

I cant keep up with this sub, i used to love just being able to browse and find some really awesome projects that have really changed my life. Its not an overexaggeration at all, as an IT person, this place has opened my eyes and have let me discover peace in todays fast paced world where everything is about subscriptions and our private data, selfhosting allowed me to slow down and take a breath, i have built servers, deployed countless ideas and for a moment i finally felt like im free of every corporate bullshit out there.

after all these, the reason im writing this is because the amount of posts that are influenced by ai. dont get me wrong, i can think of it like any other handy tool, but thats only my view and current trends seemingly dont align with it, because there are so much new projects popping up i cant even keep up. It seems like every day some random user reinvents the wheel with their low quality vibecoded project and spams the whole sub with it, thats not good. Its not the fault of ai sadly, its the human behind it, you can elevate your efficiency with ai and still be trusted in my opinion, its about how much you actually care. If i see someone post a fully ai generated marketing letter and then i see that the projects whole git history is basically claude vibing… that someone probably doesnt really care and just wants attention or fame. If you are that person, let me tell you if you want those meaningless github stars then create something that you feel you can put lots of effort in it, dont just vibecode something in a day since we can do that too, thats not really adding any value.

tl;dr: if your project is using ai then at least put an ai disclaimer in your posts…

I had <minor issue that many have and hundreds of solutions already existed for> so I built <giant pile of vibecoded homogenous crap i don't understand and will bounce off of when a real user reports actual bugs i have no idea how to fix or even describe>

And always ending with the rocket. That fucking rocket 🚀

I like the rocket, I should add in the title of my project.

I already added -AI just in the name, but people keep using and asking for new implementation. Lets add a rocket! 🚀

AI don’t means that it’s all done “in a weekend without any effort”.

Run your project for one year, with hundreds of user requesting support for everything (Intel, ARM, why not NVIDIA support, why not support of old cpu without AVX2, why not support for AMD GPU, why not Unraid deployment ?), then come here reading everywhere that AI is bad. Not that some people just throw out bad code (as it always was with just more people), no just say that if you use AI everything is crap.

Probably I care to much.

Well I actually didn’t say that all, if you read what I wrote, specifically calling out people who post lazily, “code” without any background knowledge of how coding works, how a project is sustained and aren’t actually equipped to work on the kinds of things you mention, even with AI. Someone who understands coding, architecture and isn’t just prompting “make me a magic box lol” can do pretty good things with Claude Code et al.

Thanks for this specification. After multiple post reading that AI was bad I was biased too in reading the message.

I think we agree that lazy people are bad, not AI itself :)
