Subscribed to freebsd-hackers maillist … and looking at the horrors of vibecoded shell-script to automatically perform some kind of etcupdate :drgn_stare_nervous:
IMO, if you are vibecoding because you are unexpereinced in selected language — why not use the known language and write code with natural intelligence? At least the door to bugs and errors will not be so widely open, because you don't know the selected language and all things around it, and see some plausible looking code, stolen from StackOverflow or GitHub, which is missing some necessary checks for corner cases.
And if you are vibecoding — this is definitely not a hacking :drgn_blush_giggle:

@evgandr@mastodon.bsd.cafe I will never understand why would anyone do that. I can imagine some hypothetical dire situation when you desperately need some tool or piece of code and you have absolutely no way to acquire it and you don't really know any programming language. You probably can vibecode it in the most dirty way possible to do the job for yourself and throw it away. But sharing it with the whole world in the most obtrusive manner...
