You are neither confirming nor denying, why won't you just tell if you vibe-coded it or not?

I wonder if I should really explain or if that would provide a list of things to sanitize before publishing stuff.

If someone has ever written any code is well aware of what can be done in a weekend and especially that no one doing something "in a weekend" will ever add all those useless comments everywhere, literally a few thousand lines of comments. That takes more time than writing code. Comments in Claude style. Other claude-isms all around.

It's ok to vibe things, but just say so, no shame.

And yes, after 5 minutes of looking around I had enough evidence to "prove it". Any moderately competent engineer could.
