When a project takes an LLM submit, it's then permanently an LLM project. Humans are no longer useful, except to direct another LLM to make further changes.

I think that's just how I'm going to have to treat it from now on. LLMd code is like bytecode: it's not meant for humans to interact with directly, only when using specialized tools.

As soon as you let an LLM loose on a code base, it stops being something a human can meaningfully interact with. You can't understand the "intent" of an LLM because its method to reach a certain outcome is based on non-generalisable reasoning, it's all fitted. You can't learn anything about how the program is structured or the assumptions made by reading the code, cause every line or chunk of lines is unique and specific.

To no surprise, it's vibe coded. A big clump of commits from a few weeks ago from a new contributor, packaged together into a release that the maintainer is very happy to accept, and the Claude bot finds no fault with.

I've been trying to decide if I should try to help out with the issues, but like... I don't really know if there's a point? If this is how the project is maintained, how long until anything I add or change is completely replaced with shiny slop?

It makes no sense. The view fetches the data remotely, saves it in the same cache for both tabs, then concatenates the cache and the fetched data, removes the duplicates, and populates the tab.

There are long comments everywhere describing what everything does, all of them contradicting each other in subtle or not-so-subtle ways. Reading the code is a Kafkaesque nightmare, every line is gaslighting me.

An app was annoying me, so I tried to find an open source alternative. Found one, installed it, tried it out. Janky, but usable. There's a bug though: two tabs are supposed to use different data sources, but they return the same things.

Fair enough, it's open source, I'll see if I can fix it. Go to the repo, start looking through the code.
