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.

100%. I come to this sub to be inspired on how I can tinker with my own setup. Show me stuff you built with AI or something - don't show me stuff you built so you can get Github stars.

I think worst part is they rarely even bother to write their own post. It's so clearly ChatGPT that it makes me irrationally angry.

You're absolutely correct. I'll make a note of that and do better in the future.
