MODERATORS
They literally accidentally open-sourced it, because they vibe code their devops. They have unusually low server uptime, because they vibe code their infrastructure. These jokes write themselves.
Nothing wrong with "vibe coding", "prompting", "generating" or the other terms associated with using AI to generate something.
If you do proper quality assurance, and assume ownership and accountability it is your piece of work. If not, it's AI slop.

Vibe coding. Boris can go vibe himself.
Clippy coding! Newer coders won't get the reference, older coders can hold it with the same scorn.
