What if I do have the chops to quality check and actually do treat Claude like a junior coder?
Says every Dunning-Kruger sufferer who don’t and can’t 😉 I don’t need to doubt your skills and dilligence, just those of every lazy hack who whack out slop projects without a second thought.
Sorry, but I think those outnumber capable, security-minded developers by a large factor.
>so far I haven’t made a single public post about it
Well, now you made one. Congratulations.
Maybe you need to look at the reasons you feel unsure about promoting the project. You seem very eager to get stars on Github (and let’s not get into the GH situation, nor “AI”, nor the fact that your open source project relies heavy on proprietary models).
I’d suggest you ignore the scoring system for the moment, and just write from your original enthusiasm about the project. Leave marketing to corporations that can afford marketers.
Stars and upvotes and likes are addictive metrics, and can have a deleterious effect when they don’t show. And yes, stars decide how high you rank on Github (see parenthesis above), but that’s for a later stage. It begins with writing the first post — and for that, again, congratulations 🙂
Fully agree with the last bit. And let’s be honest when we admit that there are “good use cases for AI and LLMs”. None of us here are doing protein folding or crunching other ginormous datasets for science.
Using Claude to write code you don’t have the chops to quality check… doesn’t really qualify. That’s just choosing convenience over safety. “Move fast and break things” as a service.
Did you expect to be blocked for posting a wall of tedious slop?
Obligatory reference because you’re on startrek.website:
Why would you want one small, multi-purpose device when you can have a PADD for each book/instruction manual/hourly report? 🙂
