I understand the objections to vibe coding, but for those of us who don’t care how a good tool was built (when it actually is good), this just forces us away from your favorite platform. Like it or not, this is the present and these AI tools are available. People will use them.
That said I think it’s utterly ridiculous that this article was written using AI.

How is using autocomplete "Vibecoding" now? I remember y'all that the "definition" for vibecoding requires the "prompter" to not look at a single line of code
Autocomplete with an LLM, which generates snippets for you is just a lubricated version of "copy and paste back and forth between chat window and code window"
> The policy is asymmetric, and that's what makes it harmful.
Well I found the problem already
Who is opening up an LLM to run git push?!
Its not entirely true either because neither git nor Github do things like dependency handling.
There are lots of alternatives to Github. Of the two alternatives to Flathub mentioned in the article, one has disappeared, and the other has all of 93 packages.
Meanwhile, a few ranks away on HN:
"Big AI to humanity: drop dead"
"The End Of Upward Mobility – AI is coming for the meritocracy"
