While I'm generally not one to complain about something I'm getting for free, and I do understand the dev wanting to make more efficient use of their time...

I don't think people are wrong here expressing their annoyance at what was previously feature complete and stable software being vibe-code updated into a buggy mess.

... And that's without mentioning the ethical and security issues posed by vibe-coded software.

I think we need to support the dev so they don’t need to use vibe coding. From all I see he’s overwhelmed and he doesn’t even get paid for this.

But if the chef wants oranges in the pea soup, and you don't like that, it's fair to say go to another soup kitchen.

Except that his idea of oranges is piss.

If it's about AI slop pull requests, it's more akin to a microwaved orange tbf.

"Pissing in the soup" doesn't really work here unless you're adulterating the software with something malicious.

This was in response to rsync having horrible new bugs from vibe coding that were so bad that people thought they had malware. Does the intent matter when the end result is the same?

[–] somegeek@programming.dev 51 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Holy crap I thought rsync is a super serious and professional program. Didn't thought they ruin it with vibecodeing.

A lot of important infra depends rsync.

I believe serious one is openrsync, the openbsd fork that does NOT have vibe-coding.

Apparently the project got overwhelmed with LLM vulnerability reports, so the last person in the world who actually cared enough to keep maintaining it gave up and gave in to the spop himself.

[–] somegeek@programming.dev 8 points 1 week ago

I read that the guy is a legend and genius (I believe that because rsync is fantastic. He invented that). I trust in him knowing what he's doing. We should give him a hand if we want it to be better.

ITT entitled people, who would never pay a single cent for rsync nor ever contribute to it, having a big mouth about it.

Also the analogy is crap. It's free soup on somebody's compound that anybody can walk in and take at their own accord. People walk in, take it, build a business or dependency around it, and get pissy when the recipe changes. They don't want to take the recipe and fix it themselves, instead they demand the cook change it for them. "My customers are unhappy with the soup you make in your backyard". The cook is well in his right to tell them to fuck off.

Depends if you are upfront about it or not

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 26 points 1 week ago

If you don't like it, fuck it or fork off

He is not giving anyone piss soup. He's leaving it on the sidewalk, you take it on your own knowing what it is.

[–] kunaltyagi@programming.dev 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This. It's literally someone putting food in a container and saying: it's here in case someone needs it.

You don't want/need it? Don't take it. Open source. No force feeding, just git push --force

[–] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There is no situation where you can make free piss soup available (outside of exclusively offering it to piss fetishists) that is morally acceptable. It's exploitative to adulterate something offered just because "you can choose not to take it".

[–] rain_worl@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

even with a sign that says "i PISSED in thisn soup!!!"???

[–] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Funny, that nearly tracks for the US, except it'd need to feed said homeless first. So far, it's just pissing on us poors. No soup.

I suspect this might be from the jqwik thing going on right now. The maintainer of that library added some anti-AI "fuck you" code to delete vibe coders' "work"

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 58 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is rsync. The "piss" refers to AI code contributions.

Could also be rsync, recent vibe coding changes there broke things and maintainer is also getting pretty annoyed with the comments.

[–] sorter_plainview@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This is from rsync repo.

So the devs are now split in two camps, one that "use whatever means for your goal" and one is "fuck AI and everyone who thinks its a great thing"

I am torn
