Surely you’re doing nothing to dispel the notion. If it isn’t true, say it. My questions were genuine, I don’t understand your defensiveness. Either you understand the code or you don’t. There are people who will be fine with it and use it anyway, and people who won’t be and will use something else. But they all will benefit (and temper expectations) from an honest answer.
my favourite thing about the present is how entirely people have lost their minds with LLM-augmented work, to the point that they'll openly interrogate people who have obviously been writing software for three decades about how much of their personal project's boilerplate is TrUlY ThEiRs.
if someone chooses to use an LLM in 2025 and they're not fresh out of boot, it's simply good manners to assume that they're doing so responsibly and transparently.
i think the most annoying thing of all is when people openly volunteer that they have used an LLM to write something and it opens up a front of ideological warfare for people who are simply terrified of losing their livelihoods.
Your HN account is from 2013. You have one comment, this one in this thread. You also have one submission, which is to the website of the author of this tool. What an amazing coincidence that in 12 years of HN, your only two interactions were promoting and defending this person.
rofl, what does any of that have to do with what i'm saying, detective columbo?
wait, i need to _use_ more _italics_, that's how we know we've made an _excellent point_
i only have one post on deviantart too, shall we get into that? come on lets have a fireside chat and settle your nerves as you tremble before the inexorable weight of technological change.
If _you_ can read the code, and it's of reasonable quality (I can and this code appears to be), then what exactly is the point of this argument?
Before the authors work, however you choose to define that word, this did not exist. Now it does, and it isn't slop. Why then does it matter how it came into existence?
This feels like a petty attempt to diminish the fact that someone just gave us a piece of useful open source software.
> This feels like a petty attempt to diminish the fact
It feels that way to you because you misunderstood the point and are outright assuming bad faith (as evidenced by sibling comments).
> I can and this code appears to be
Yes, appears. To know for sure you’d have to read more of it. You’d have to spend time to understand it. If you know the author and know they have been writing code before LLMs and they tell you they have written it all themselves or at the very least reviewed it all, you’ll place a certain amount of trust in the code based on the author. If, however, they say they vibe coded all of it and verified nothing, you’re no longer trusting the abilities of the author but the random musings of LLMs.
Those two scenarios entail different levels of trust and verification and they affect how much time you yourself will decide to spend on doing your own review to go from appears good to “I’m confident it is good”.
This is not hard to understand. All you have to do is not assume that everyone who makes a question about LLM usage is immediately bashing the project. In other words, don’t engage in bad faith and don’t assume motivation from strangers.

Dude you are taking this very simple piece of software way too seriously. Not everything requires this level of attention or effort. This is a Bluetooth controller adapter, not a an O2 regulator on the ISS. My criteria here are quite simple:
* Is the code readable, so that _if_ I ever have to actually modify it I can? Yes.
