On one hand, I sympathize with the concern and desire for transparency. After all, vulnerabilities easily missed by AI can have devastating effects on someone’s privacy and infrastructure. On the other hand, should we really be any more hesitant over a vibe coded project than an app launched by someone whose GitHub profile links to their Neocities page (no shade intended)?
The answer is “yes.” Neocites is chill. Vibe coded software that maybe works is not.
“Vibe coded” basically means software built on vibes/feelings rather than solid engineering principles - it’s the “eh, it works on my machine” approach whre testing and security are afterthoughts, which is why it’s particularly risky for self-hosted stuff that handles your data.

I think what’s most telling is- if you use it then what do you care about putting “made with ai” on a flair? Are you ashamed?
