a single commit doesn't mean it's vide coded you idiot

1/ AIs are terrible at Zig

2/ I happen to know the author personally

I’d invite you to reconsider the kind of language you’re using to interact with other forum members here.

Dropping to profanities is not conducive to maintaining an environment that’s facilitating dialogue between its members.

I’ve seen you at least twice call other members here “you idiot”, “get lost”. Etc. Have a hard think as to whether you could rephrase that without the name calling, and if at worse you can’t manage to, you can always ask an LLM to do it for you.

  • the way he came barging through the door doesn’t invite sympathy

    • That’s not an excuse for your behavior. Everyone here is expected to exercise a certain level of decorum.

> 1/ AIs are terrible at Zig

Claude isn't, and the zig subreddit is actually full of AI slop projects unfortunately.

And yesterday's front page Zig project was also vibe coded (though in that case the author acknowledged it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46442792)

  • > zig subreddit

    Is the only zig community that Andrew Kelley "anti-endorses"[1]:

    > I don’t have the time or energy to evaluate most Zig communities so I can neither endorse nor anti-endorse them, however, the Zig subreddit is an exception.

    > It’s an awful place and I stand by my decision to permanently close it. I am unhappy that it was reopened against my will.
