Well I’m sure this’ll be a productive discussion with no whining or name-calling whatso
Tbf a conversation that started with a screenshot of a rant was never going to stay civil, but the OP has a point.
Rsync was in a robust maintance mode, only needing occasional security updates. If adding new features by vibe-coding is going to just break the existing reliable infrastructure, then it’s better off not having those features at all.
The first bigots are also incoming:
But Action Man is okay because tHeY’rE fOr bOyS!
I guess the techbros are making sure the Russian troll bots start a ruckus anywhere AI is challenged.
True, that comment is straight up bigoted and out of place, but how did you ascertain the nationality of the poster?
I mean, those are bots, right? No one is so pathetic that they have to make this ridiculous connection on a Github issue about vibe coding. Right?..
Have you ever worked with the public? That is 100% a believable post from a person. And using an obvious throwaway account because they’re always a coward.
Honestly, I’d like to believe it - but I also don’t doubt that someone would be petty enough.
Slight tangent, but what is the right’s obsession with boys playing with dolls?
Considering how many parents let their kids rot on phones/tablets watching hyperactive slop nowadays, I’d rather my kid play with basically anything else - even if it doesn’t conform to “expectations”.

It’s knuckle-dragging groupthink, mostly. Bigotry being passed on to new generations and all that. Right-wing leaders see it more clinically, though, since they can guide the idiots into pushing their agenda with what essentially amounts to a magnet. An ouroboros of shitfuck.
The new releases where fixing security bugs including potential RCE’s.
This is one guy up keeping the project. It’s very likely not his only project and it’s definitely not his full time job. He’s asked for help previously and gotten no volunteers.
I don’t want FOSS or even just Open Source projects filled with vibe coded nonsense. But I recognize that at some point people with the relevant skills are going to have to step up (or some of us are going to have to learn to code in order to help out).
Attacking him does not fix any of the problems with him using an LLM to help him code.
I have so much respect for FOSS maintainers, idk how people have the patience to do it. If I ever made something that becomes popular I would probably stop maintaining it publicly just to avoid all the drama and entitled assholes that tend to arise.
Yeah. In some of the comments on threads about this subject that I have seen, there are people pointing out that he’s drowning in bug reports and feature requests (a lot of which may be AI generated), and this is how FOSS dies. Linux is having a similar problem and maintainers across just about every distro are having this problem and a lot of those are whole teams. I just don’t want us to forget that he’s not superman and this isn’t a case of him not being able to code, it’s a case of him likely being overwhelmed.
The Lutris dev had the same problem. I feel like a lot of the backlash there came also from him lying about it and or having a really caustic response when people brought it up. But I’m not sure I can blame him. It’s really hard to be the only person who maintains something, especially when you’re being bombarded by reports that things are wrong and need fixing.
for fucks sake
Wow, people making up excuses for the AI slop (like maybe just it’s tests coverage issue,…), we are doomed
