  Sure, we could

  • Parse the code that the owner likely doesn’t fully understand
  • Figure out the application logic
  • Check the logic for anything that might cause unwanted side-effects
  • Check the logic for malware behaviour
  • Run tests (and review the test code because it’s also likely vibe coded)
  • Pray and beg that everything works
  • Repeat for the diff every time the software needs to be updated

  Or we could warn others that the code and its owner should not be trusted.

    Especially because it is vibe coded. I wouldn’t even do this with every application on every update for a software that is written by good humans. At most for a single application I fall in love with.

    the owner couldn’t be assed to either write the code

    If you’re so happy making demand to others: Why can’t you “be assed” make a better alternative?

    If anything is super toxic attitude among open source consumers like you is demanding work of unpaid volunteers as if you were a paying customer.

    I’m not defending LLM generated code but your attitude is the worst.
