Contributor Poker and Zig's AI Ban

You're completely missing the point.

You didn't "rewrite" anything

False. 1) I'm responsible for it if something goes wrong in a prod env with it. That is all that matters. 2) This was not just an ask, it was a cooperation similar to pair programming.

and your vibecoded version is only 50 times faster that's painfully bad

So now you're just deliberately being an asshole based on literally zero information? Nice. You also forgot the speed of development. 1 week to go 50x faster AND run in the browser AND pass all the same tests. That is literally impossible without LLM assistance, because the overhead of doing that conventionally with a TEAM would have already cost that much time just to communicate/coordinate- and much of their code would have sucked, to boot. To call that anything but impressive is just fucking oxbrained, frankly.

You're telling on yourself by pushing something you know basically nothing about when you're basically letting an LLM do everything for you in a language you don't even know or understand.

Again, you're completely missing the point. That codebase you stopped updating 2 years ago that you wrote in the dead of night to meet a deadline, you also know nothing about, regardless of whether you wrote it or not. That doesn't mean it isn't valuable. You've simply shifted the ignorance. I have learned when I've needed to, on the hot paths, which is where it counts. "Letting an LLM do everything for you" is pure ignorance, dude- I'm there every step of the way, making difficult tech decisions in some cases, and vetting the diffs, calling anything suspicious into question.

Pay me and I'll review it and tell you whether it sucks as much as I think it probably does.

Dude, with the attitude you have, you're headed for a firing in a matter of time, and I wouldn't bat a fucking eye. Good Lord, you are obstinate. Anyway, there are multiple types of suckitude and only some matter- the measurable ones. Guess what's good at creating measurements.

You've never written Zig, but you spam your GitHub with Zig projects. I'm sure they're happy to have such a productive member of the community around.

And all of those projects work well. I don't know what the Zig community would think of it, and I wouldn't care. Just like I don't care what you think. Just leave your blinders on while the tidal wave comes, my dude. I'm sure it'll all work out great.

Jesus Christ, the whole lot of you obstinate skeptics are just lost. To make it abundantly clear to your level: NO CUSTOMER IS GOING TO CARE ABOUT YOUR BESPOKE, SLOW-ASS-CODED POLICE FORCE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE (by the way, there is nothing at all sophisticated about that type of software and the LLM will eat your lunch) IN 12-24 MONTHS IF YOU ARE NOT DELIVERING AS QUICKLY AS COMPETITORS, EVEN IF YOU PROVIDE SLIGHTLY BETTER QUALITY (and it would not just have to be slightly better to justify that massively increased delay, it would have to be 100% better! You willing to take that bet? I'm not.)

But hey, it looks like you're doing government contract work, so perhaps you are slightly safer than those in the normal private sector. For now.
