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?

It looks like that tool is more or less built by a single developer (you already trust their judgment anyways!), and even though the code came through in a single PR it was a merge from a branch that had 79 separate commits: github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1619

Also glancing through it a bit, huge portions of that are straightforward refactors or even just formatting changes caused by adding a new backend option.

I’m not going to say it’s fine, but they didn’t just throw Claude at a problem and let it rewrite 25k lines of code unnecessarily.

Wow a differentiated opinion on AI use :)
