I'm a little disappointed, because your comment made it look great, but when i look at >1000 commits in 2 months and inspect a few commits randomly, it looks like 100% slopware.

The concept is marvelous, but i'm 100% not trusting slop near my infra, and i'm 100% not trusting people who are not upfront about vibecoding in their README and raise my hopes for nothing.

I suspect most sysadmins, like me, will not trust LLM-generated code within a 10-foot-pole-reach of their servers. You still might be able to convince clueless managers suffering from AI psychosis to go for your solution. But if you'd like to make actual software engineering with a human team, i'm 100% convinced there's actual desire and market for a solution like this to easily get ease the transition path out of Github.

Much of the code was certainly written by agents, as is most of the code now. That said, there's a big difference between "vibe coding" and "agentic coding". The latter requires careful and thoughtful design and review. I've invested heavily in different kinds of guardrails to ensure conformance. An effort like this would not be reasonably feasible without agents or would take significantly longer(act has been around for 5+ years and is still maybe about 70% or so compatible with the official protocol). We'll keep improving it. I hope we'll earn your trust eventually.

The self hosting community is incredibly anti-AI for some reason. I’ve never understood why as using agents has made managing and maintaining my home lab system so much easier.

Nah, LLMs and agentic coding is a reality. It's here, it will stay here, and will only grow.
