Yeah I noticed that too, it’s a bit crazy to me that stuff like this is getting upvotes and traction. It feels like it was vibe-coded in one-shot style without perhaps even reading any bit of the code. A bunch of hardcoded values, a `sleep(3)`, bunch of other antipatterns.

Up until recently I tended to “trust” github repos a bit more, now I feel like I need to have my guard up so I don’t fall into a trap of using something like this. Funnily enough a good first metric for me now is # of emojis in the readme - the more emojis the more likely you should stay away from it

This code was written in pure vibe-coding style — mostly for fun. I've got about 10 years of experience in IT, and even I fully agree: a 1000-line main file like this one probably deserves to be locked away in a secure facility. But hey — if it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid.
