Using LLMs to vomit out all of your code into one commit is vibecoding. It’s clearly vibecoding when there weren’t even multiple commits. No trial and error, no refinement, just one giant dump.

Yeah, I completely agree there. Just like with regular coding, you have to go slowly, implement functionality in small focused chunks, review, and iterate.

And I'd also wait and see whether the project continues to be maintained before considering it. I just posted it because I thought it was neat, and might be worth watching to see how it develops, not that I'd use it over a more mature option at the moment.

I think we're actually in complete agreement here.

I think so too. Maybe it will turn out fine, maybe not. Personally I've been looking at git histories and waiting a month or so before getting excited, just to see if it will pan out.

Yup, a month is a good first checkpoint for a project. People tend to get really excited early on, but then they either get bored and move on, or start running into some hard problems they didn't anticipate. If somebody can work on a project for a month in sustained fashion, there's good chance they're actually using it themselves and will have the motivation to keep going.
