dontnetgoat reverse proxy – "seriously messed up code"
AndrewI avoid any software with emojis throughout the readme... Screams vibe coded! And for a reverse proxy?? 😂
After a few “Delete junk” commits, “Broken”, “PATCH: Hope this fixes it”, and “Basic Reverse-Proxy”, it’s now at version 1.0.1-alpha.1. Don’t know what they did to Git. But their “minor commit” touches almost the entire code in their repo.
100% wouldn’t use it.

AllNewTypeFaceVibe coding, the crystal meth of software
SavvyWolfIs this an allegedly “high performance” reverse proxy written in NodeJS? Uh… Yeah, good luck with that.
Also, how do they intend to protect against DDos attacks in a self-hosted environment with (presumably) a limited number of devices?
To be fair, the proxy engine is supposedly written in go, not in nodejs, but yeah, the ddos defense most likely is wishful thinking…
Of course I also see that the go spawns python and does stuff with that…
And there’s lots of other dubious issues that look like an odd mismash of intro level programming stuff with unfortunate performance implications, and a very strong vibe code smell, though the commit interval is a bit larger than I would have presumed with vibe coding, but the volume of changes seem AI sloppy…
Well, broadly it looks like slop, probably AI slop, but either way I wouldn’t go anywhere near this project…
Pretty much always overratee if it happens on the same line. Just change methods and fk it up.
YouTube thumbnails, headlines and GitHub readmes are either Emoji free or to be avoided.
Almost every single deployment has failed lmao
