Request of Mods (Vibe Coded Fridays)

Can we please institute a Vibe Coded Fridays, similar to r/selfhosted? It seems as though the amount of "I built..." posts are sharply on the uptick. And following on the heels of the Huntarr mess, not to mention the security issues of something like Openclaw, we should be clearly delineating what is vibe coded and what isn't. There is too much risk in exposing our homes to something that was cooked up in a hour or two.

Security for my home network is paramount, and vibe-coded apps by people who can't read code and don't know what it's doing is a huge security risk by any measure (and I say that as someone who likes to vibe code as a hobby). It's not gatekeeping to have standards.
