They provide no evidence of vibe coding at all. Just because someone is using an IDE with AI (which is most now) doesn't prove anything.

If the evil didn’t convince people to abandon Proton, maybe a little bit of AI will. Amazing.

Um, it’s a public repository. You can view the code that’s been added. Even if it IS AI generated, you can review it yourself.

I’m as anti-AI as anyone but this is misplaced AI-alarmism.

I’d bet they just added it to their global .gitignore where it should be, then removed it because they didn’t want their private dot files committed to a public repo.

I don’t think this user knows much about git works. I don’t think this is nefarious or “vibe coding” as it’s colloquially known to be. It’s a bit much to describe all LLM use blindly as vibe coding, when vibe coding usually means just blanket accepting AI content.

How is this proof of vibecoding?

Do you understand the difference between using AI assistance for coding and vibe code?

And still no drive client for Linux..Fuck those guys :)

I’m annoyed because I had to go find a tree that actually had the cursor files. If there’s a smoking gun, you gotta fucking link it when you call someone out.

The irony of Proton attempting to remove it this way is that GitHub trees are permanently available. The only way to remove something once a link has been created is to delete the repo. I’d expect a security-minded company to understand that. To me that’s much more egg-on-face than vibe-coding secure applications. Neither is good; only one very explicitly highlights you don’t know shit about security.
