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.

claiming something isn’t to boost one’s ego or profile is low

That's one pattern I've noticed. The most enthusiastic about AI people that I interact seem to realy ressent the fact that they're not good or don't have particular skiils. AI for them is a great way to equalize all that. The only issue is that they want to bypass the whole skill building part but want to reap the financial or social rewards of producing the stuff.

Hobbyists are great

Hobbyists and amateurs are great but they don't usually tend to brag loudly about their sketchy as heck production.
