> I created this

No, an LLM coding agent created this. You're not doing any QA. You're not even writing the release notes.

I hate people saying "I created this" when all they did was write some prompts and shove an LLM coding agent this way or that when it stumbles or asks a question.

You also clearly decided to not "waste" tokens on having the AI make test suites, or on having another agent review the PRs the first agent is writing.

The biggest problem with all this vibecoded crap: it's all worthless because the project leader doesn't even remotely prioritize stability and reliability. With almost every release the AI has broken something that was coded long ago, or is on try #3 at attempting to fix a problem, and the person running the AI doesn't care. "Ship it!"

This wouldn't exist without OP's agency; it's reasonable for them to take credit.

If there are bugs, etc., that's fair game. Declaring hate for folks because of their approach is not.

  • No, not really. If you used an LLM you didn't actually make anything. It's like if one commissions a work of art: yes, it wouldn't exist if not for your actions, but no, you didn't make it.

This got me thinking about what "I made this" means, when we're building on top of zillions of abstractions "made" by others.

I don't make the binaries. The compiler does. I just feed in specification called source code.
