According to the release:

Adds experimental PostgreSQL support

The code was written by Cursor and Claude

14,997 added lines of code, and 10,202 lines removed

reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks

This makes me uneasy, especially as ntfy is an internet facing service. I am now looking for alternatives.

Am I overreacting or do you all share the same concern?

Of course. And when I hear “vibe coded”, I hear someone starting with “make me a cool app” and going from there, with zero understanding of the technical architecture.

If you have a thorough, deeply thought through technical spec, then AI can write a great amount of tests up against that spec, say, and you’ve got a fantastic base for TDD.

I honestly feel like a lot of the downvotes are people thinking AI means “clueless programmer having an AI do its work for you”. Many highly productive, deeply technical developers use it every day.

Idk man by the sounds of it, the AI implemented the entire back end change, adding 14k lines of generated code. The dev doesn’t even seem confident with his own testing. Sounds like it’s closer to the vibe-coded end of the scale to me.

I’ve been meaning to give Ntfy a shot but now I likely won’t. If I wanted a vibe coded project I’d just do it myself.
