New ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI - Lemmy.World

According to the release: >Adds experimental PostgreSQL support >The code was written by Cursor and Claude >14,997 added lines of code, and 10,202 lines removed >reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks This makes me a bit uneasy, especially as ntfy is an internet facing service. Am I overreacting or do you all share the same concern?

Uh. I’d really prefer if people experimented with new technology a bit more cautiously and not directly jump to “the biggest release […] ever done”.

v2.18 should be a beta release · Issue #1645 · binwiederhier/ntfy

From the release: The code was written by Cursor and Claude, but reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks by me. I created comparison documents, went through all queries multiple times and review...

They just replied:

What gave you the idea that this was a full rewrite? I moved things around with AI and added postgres support for the queries. Nobody has ever reviewed and tested anything more thoroughly than I did with this branch.

You are twisting what it actually is. You are assuming something that is not true.

This makes me think that they didn’t review or test it at all, lmao

Thanks for the link. As a short aside for the other people here: Try not to spam developers. That usually achieves the opposite and makes them miserable, when we want them to not burn out and write good software for us. A thumbs-up emoji is the correct reaction for the average person. Or a code-review highlighting specific issues in the code.
