Does vibe coding risk destroying the Open Source ecosystem? According to a pre-print paper by a number of high-profile researchers, this might indeed be the case based on observed patterns and some…
ttbomk, emojis are legal function-names in both Swift & Julia…
The Swift example was damned incomprehensible, & … well, it was Apple stuff, so making it look idiotic might have been some kind of cultural-exclusivity intention…
The Julia stuff, though, means that you can use Greek symbols, etc, for functions, & get things looking more like what they should…
Also, I think emojis are actually better than my all-text style, for communicating intonation/emotion ( I’m old: learned last century ), & maybe us old geezers ought to adapt a bit, to such things…
That does NOT mean that cartoon “code” is good-enough, whether it’s cartoonish in plaintext or in emojis, though…
I’m just trying to keep the cultural-prejudice & the code-quality being distinct-categories of judgement, you know?
( & cultural-prejudice is an actual thing, though it’s usually called “religious wars”, isn’t it, in geekdom? )
3? I understand it’s a start, but it’s not so impressive.
I’m more interested in actual user feedback because a product like that is quite an ambitious use case and advertised as ready to use with tons of features.
Man… of all the vibe coding tools, Lovable has gotta be one of the most useless, too.
I work with people (all middle managers) who love Loveable because they can type a two sentence description of an app and it will immediately vomit something into existence. But the code it generates is an absolute disaster and the UIs it designs (which is supposed to be its main draw) is some of the most generic crap I’ve ever seen.
I used to use emojis in my documentation very lightly because I thought they were a good way to provide visual cues. But now with all the people vibe coding their own readme docs with freaking emojis everywhere I have to stop using them.
Got a job application this with a one line cover letter “Iam interested to work with u are company” it was kinda refreshing to see that instead of a whole page of slop, like most of them are these days.
LLMs definitely kills the trust in open source software, because now everything can be a vibe-coded mess and it’s sometimes hard to check.
yeah it’s to the point now where if I see emojis in the readme.md on the repo I just don’t even bother.

Check out this one I came across earlier - https://github.com/Jtensetti/fediverse-career-nexus/blob/main/README.md
It’s a federated LinkedIn. ofc it’s vibe coded.
well to be fair you don’t even need to look at the md since right at the top it says it’s built with loveable.
Who actually tried this?
A handful of people - https://mastodon.social/tags/noltosocial

Mildly annoying.
✨ especially this one ✨
lmao.

Is the ✨sparkly emoji✨ the <BLINK> of the 21st century? Discuss.
