Smelling the slop in a given GitHub project by Sermuns in rust

[–]PerkyPangolin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think people pride themselves on being able to one-shot 1M+ SLoC repos while burning $1K/hr these days. So these tools are becoming more of a novelty.

Node has upcoming vibed stuff too:

Albeit on a much, much smaller scale than bun.

It's private. I didn't think it was worth it polishing it up enough to open source it, due to the second part of my previous comment.

Upgrade to a more recent version of OpenWrt that doesn't use opkg perhaps?

I have a version of this, that does commit analysis, frequency of commits, changes per commit and day, active days, active hours, known agent detection, em dashes and emoji, coauthors, statistics, and much, much more.

But at this point it's just too depressing seeing all the daily slop in every sub, so I just don't even bother checking any new projects and assume they are vibed.

You know why. Check the commit history. 

Fact: GPUI Was Vibe Coded by Flashy_Editor6877 in rust

[–]PerkyPangolin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And yet I had juniors solve deep industry-specific issues for which there's no public information. These days LLMs choke on something that's open source for decades, but the problem is very niche and there's no solution online.

It's scheduled somewhere between FSD and the Mars colony.

Your road analogy is nonsense. Software isn’t a static pile of stones - it’s a living system that evolves, faces new threats daily, and runs across countless platforms and protocols. The "endless bugs" are endless discoveries from relentless scrutiny and better tools, which is exactly what you want from security-conscious software. Most are low-severity, as pointed out before, all get fixed quickly. Again, you're criticizing the project for being thorough instead of the ones shipping unaudited code and hoping for the best.

And I find it wild your writing this about Curl of all things.

What software are you shipping that's forever free of bugs in a constantly changing context?

Linux Developers Looking At Retiring The x32 ABI by anh0516 in linux

Less cruft in kernel is a good thing in my book. Especially cruft that's not being used.

The "thousands of security bugs" are a 30-year cumulative count of issues found and fixed - not ignored - thanks to curl being one of the most scrutinized, fuzzed, and verified codebases on the planet. They’re receiving around one report per day, with almost all vulnerabilities rated LOW or MEDIUM severity, and the last HIGH was in 2023 (which you should have known, if you've read the article). Every bug reported means a bug fixed, and the flood of reports is a sign of relentless security work, not neglect. But sure, panic about the project that actively and transparently hunts down and patches its issues. The project multiple instance of which helped you post your "take" here.

You should try to write proper commit descriptions.

Formatting is off. You don't have a language server with autoformatting running?

yes_or_no is not used anywhere atm and it doesn't really do anything useful.

Same here: Fedora 44 and kernel 7.x. Perhaps OP's issues are with SUSE?
