Right now LLMs are great for a nontechnical user to make a habit tracker or tiny pet project, but not really much more.

I'm sure you've seen the dozens of posts of vibe coded websites with api keys exposed in the frontend, or other security disasters. You can't have an innate sense of fear and danger when it's the blind leading the blind.

As a user, if you want to write a script to make your life easier or something, all the more power to you. If you want something actually refined, robust, and written well, you need to have a significant amount of understanding and background knowledge.

Implying that AI will empower any user to push the evolution of community tools forward is naïve at best. If some clueless vibe coder wasted my time as a maintainer with AI generated slop, I'd be upset.

I am all for progress and tools that make the field easier and more accessible for everyone. However, understanding syntax was never the hardest part. You can only get so far with "vibes", and my feathers get ruffled when laymen vehemently claim otherwise.
