I'm embracing the AI future we live in. It should be possible to build great software with AI. AI is good at code generation, but not testing. That's the other part of the equation we seem to be forgetting.

With the first and only commit 2 hours ago, the author of this project didn't let it "bake". They didn't exercise it locally to see what issues it might have, and I have a hard time believing the very first iteration of this software is perfect. With how easy it is to prompt/push anything, I'm not interested in engaging with anything that hasn't aged a bit.

You have no idea whatsoever how many iterations were done before the initial commit. The VCS log is not representative of anything that happened before the first public release. Even before LLMs, people would grind away on stuff until they were happy and then put it in a VCS for public consumption.

True. But it is still more likely than not that this project has seen limited testing on only a handful of machines.

I won't begrudge anyone who feels like it's too big a risk to engage with just yet.
