I don’t usually share what I build. Most of it lives on Codeberg or Github as a glorified off-site backup. 3-2-1 and all that. If I nuke my drive, I can pull it back down. That’s the whole point for me.
A while back I mentioned Pimaps here, a few people asked to see it, so I posted it. Got dunked on for AI slop despite explicitly marking which parts were AI-assisted (documentation and review- flagged with AIP). Similar story with Cliparr. I get it - Lemmy hates AI in any capacity.
What does the community actually expect from devs when sharing a project? I’m not assuming everyone here is a professional dev - though I’d guess the overlap is significant - so I’m wondering where the bar sits.
Polish? Full handwritten codebase? Something else?
How much of the sausage making do you actually want to see?


As a dev i dont care for ai, but i will only hate/judge/completly ignore programms/tools/documentation thats clearly vibecoded slop.
Meaning if you let ai fix your Gramnar/Sentece structure okay, i dont care its probably better. But if you let ai write your documentation and i find most of the information wrong, broken or halucinated its a no go.
Same with your code if its full of sloppy hacky bullshit, repeats and useless libs, i will assume you vibecoded it without nowing anything
Edit: Also remember there will always a loud group of haters. There a probably many like me that saw ypur posts and just didnt care/react at all.
You will need to choose if you want hate from all ai is bad people when disclaiming it or if you want to add the other peoples hate when it inadvertently is found out that you used ai.
If its disclosed and tagged, then keep that thought to yourself - its now OT (rule 3) or potentially a rule 1 violating comment depending on how its phrased. In either case, its not appropriate for the post.
If its not disclosed and/or tagged, report it.
