Does vibe coding risk destroying the Open Source ecosystem? According to a pre-print paper by a number of high-profile researchers, this might indeed be the case based on observed patterns and some…
I used to use emojis in my documentation very lightly because I thought they were a good way to provide visual cues. But now with all the people vibe coding their own readme docs with freaking emojis everywhere I have to stop using them.
Man… of all the vibe coding tools, Lovable has gotta be one of the most useless, too.
I work with people (all middle managers) who love Loveable because they can type a two sentence description of an app and it will immediately vomit something into existence. But the code it generates is an absolute disaster and the UIs it designs (which is supposed to be its main draw) is some of the most generic crap I’ve ever seen.
LLMs definitely kills the trust in open source software, because now everything can be a vibe-coded mess and it’s sometimes hard to check.
yeah it’s to the point now where if I see emojis in the readme.md on the repo I just don’t even bother.

Mildly annoying.
Check out this one I came across earlier - https://github.com/Jtensetti/fediverse-career-nexus/blob/main/README.md
It’s a federated LinkedIn. ofc it’s vibe coded.

0/10, do not recommend.
well to be fair you don’t even need to look at the md since right at the top it says it’s built with loveable.
Who actually tried this?
