It’s true that AI is leading to increased software output—whenever I have a need for specific software I find like 3 separate vibe-coded abandoned code repositories with all files from like 4 months ago and it’s very shiny and doesn’t work at all.

@thomasfuchs one commit, by claude, zero stars, extravagant bulleted README claiming it solves NP complete
@thomasfuchs and by the time you write this, there will be some 5 revivals, 7 new ones, and 0 trust signals.
This is a daily occurrence now.
The main effect is that it’s harder to find actual real software that works. It reminds me of SEO spam websites.
This includes even OTHER software that uses LLM-generated code btw.
The root cause is how it’s marketed, like as if it was a magic programming slave that everyone can make software with instead of one tool of many for professionals.
@thomasfuchs
What baffles me personally is the insane release rates that some of these vibe coded projects have. I use one that has sometimes 4 releases per day.
@jeroen at least it _has_ releases lol
