Hardly an issue with generated code. You could say the same about projects before LLMs were widely used for code generation: "most projects are abandoned within months of release". The difference now is the scale and how some people feel about it.
Most hand-coded projects are "abandoned" within months of release, but this often happens because the project is done, not because the project outgrew the capabilities of the LLM and the vibecoder is too incompetent to fix the accrued technical debt themselves.
Disagree. Most projects are never "done". Whether that is defined by the user or by the users, there are nearly always things to work on. Maintainers just lose interest or don't bother. This is as old as open source and it has nothing to do with LLMs, it's only aggravated by it.
Nah, most projects where just abandoned. Most projects never reached maturity and where abandoed in like weeks if not days. Look at the amount of 0 to 10 star github repos that are open source and had no commits since ever. LLM's just removed the hurdle to start something "simple" so now the problem just grew in size.
Plenty, possibly most, of those do exactly what they were built to do and nothing more or less. I have a couple of dozen such repos myself.
Hmm, I think we are running both on assumptions. This would need some data to be analyzed to actually have a clear picture.
There is a crucial difference though, vibe coding enables people who are neither interested nor capable of understanding what is involved in maintaining a piece of software. Before vibe coding it didn't even come to this situation: if you can't write software you don't need to maintain it. While there were bad coders and bad maintainers before, the numbers have now increased dramatically because everyone can pretend to be a software dev these days.
Right, like I mentioned, it's a scale problem and how people feel about generated code. Abandonware have always been the majority of repos, because people don't have time or interest to maintain most things they create. We just have more things being created now (whether they're any good/usable or not).
