You rather open the server up to security issues than have software where the developer has been assisted by ai which you feel decreases the quality of the code or is it for moral reasons?

Rsync is not being vibe coded, and it’s not become slop so would love to understand the position.


The integrity of the backups seems uncertain at this point.

A backup tool that doesn't do backups properly is less useful than one with a CVE that might be exploited if the stars align.


That’s not how LLMs are used by experienced engineers.

And yet this is exactly how it was used for rsync which caused the outrage you're all complaining about.

Reminds of the days when windows and macs folks were debating each other, made it impossible to announce Mac software on a software forum with windows users.

The significant thing that will result from this is private issue lists and disabling open PRs. and then you’re worse off as an ai sceptic.


Adding a subscription form at the end of the article when the user is ready for the next task always made more sense to ne
