I understand that AI has flooded the internet with low-quality products. But calling something junk without opening the repository and trying it out is damn tiresome.

Out of interest, I see you've posted links to several of your projects -- are those vibe-coded?

You didn't have to ask everyone; if you were really interested, you could have gone and looked into it yourself, or at least opened GitHub to see how old they are.

Where did you get that from? Did you just make it up?

From your HN posting history, I clicked through to a few of the GH repos.

Somebody wrote in another thread: "intelligence is compression". So. Defaulting to slop is intelligent now. Saves a lot of time and energy.
