Selfhosted

No-no, you run your VPS and deploy it there. So you define your storage, it can be homeVPS

I see that we face it all over the world now.

Yup. You really don't want the maga cult monitoring your cycle. If you stopped menstruating for a bit you must be pregnant. Where is the baby? Omg you murdered the baby by taking Tylenol!

Appreciate that!

I agree, though there is a difference in case you rovided and mine. It is a human-directed work. Thousands of libraries, Kubernetes, Kubernetes still live and license is valid.

because I don’t know jackshit about coding and I am not gonna pretend I do.

But if OP does know and applies that knowledge to what they are doing, it's not the same thing and doesn't make sense to have the same disclaimer.

Partially agree, but I do know how to code and use it as a tool.

Imagine you are on the ground under your car and need a different tool. You ask for it and somebody hands it to you. That person is young and inexperienced. It is up to You to check if it's the right tool, and if not pass it back (and in this example tell the person about the error and help them correct it).

And sure, You can always crawl out and get the tool yourself and sometimes that is the only option and in coding terms in my opinion best practice. But you can be faster with your helper. Use it appropriately and see how it affects your work. And that's the point, your work. Don't pass responsibility or thought off to AI.

Because it's able to write boilerplate faster than a human. And because it's able to perform refactorings that are not possible with IDEs or regex due to their lack of structure. Also because you can ask it to review your files and it does find bugs that would otherwise be missed at first. There's a huge difference between vibe-coded slop and using the tools available to you effectively.

Yes, I’m aware of those apps. They’re great local-first mobile trackers. Ovumcy explores a slightly different approach - a self-hosted web app that can run on infrastructure you control and be accessed from multiple devices.

Judging code quality by use of LLM in a documentation and commit messages is weird.

While I write all of my code myself and I'm against vibe coding etc., there is one place where I let a LLM write for me: readmes, commit messages and Javadoc comments.

I know how to write code but at the same time I'm shit at both my native language and even more so at English. So I let Language Models write natural language texts for me and just fix them when necessary. My documentation is more clear, grammatically correct and more detailed than in any of my previous projects, and I can focus on writing code.

And I wouldn't say "No one does that in a project they're building for themselves". I do that for projects that only I will ever see, and OP shared his project with others, so it's great that he included a clear documentation

No one does that in a project they’re building for themselves.

Speak for yourself, I always did that and I found it easier with LLMs nowadays.

I hate most AI shite with a passion but when it helps my colleagues write commits which are more than "add stuff", "fix some things" I'm fine with it.

I rarely use AI to generate code, usually only when I need a starting point. It's much easier to unfuck AI code than to stare blankly at a screen for an hour. I'd never commit code I don't fully understand or have read to the last byte.

I hope OP is doing the same. LLMs fail at 90% of coding tasks for me but for the other 10% (mostly writing tests, readmes, boilerplate) it's really OK for productivity.

Ethics of LLMs aside, if you use them for exactly what they're built for – being a supercharged glorified autocomplete – they're cool. As soon as you try to use them for something else like "autocompletion from zero" aka "creativity", they fail spectacularly.
