Thank you, but I won't even consider a yet another AI/LLM slop which will not be maintained in a few months, nor anyone will ever invest their life time into, too.

Hey there. And yes, I don't you believe it's you who "wrote" it (where even the Readme file seems to be generated), nor you have experience enough in the so crucial subjects raised, to invest my own life time in the project, too, sorry.

I'll better consider projects where actual effort and human was involved believing in their art, knowledge, and experience of life they express in their actual, authentic, and accountable work.

I can relate to the tilting you're on, but try to consider the good that can come from this age, where such a tool might not have been built otherwise. It's also BSD/GPL license.

As an aside, I've been vibe-cooking for a few months on a personal project that's accomplished something lovely. For me. I sometimes wonder if I should give it away much like this project. But public reactions like yours temper the thought.

Hey, I'm the founder of yeet.

This tool was built on top of our engine: yeetd.

We put a lot of work into abstracting BPF into a JavaScript framework to give builders, human or agentic, the ability to use complex kernel primitives with a familiar programming model to build production grade, scalable infrastructure tools.

Our hope is that everyone here will soon be able to build their own tools on-demand, versus buying them.

We separate a lot of the data layer code from the presentation-level code, to make them re-usable and keep the test surface on the actual data's accuracy manageable across all the random edge cases that arise across CPU architectures, kernel versions, and environments like AWS ECS network namespace voo-doo.

It seems like a tool built for this bigger project[1] which actually looks kind of creative and cool.

This applied to most of my side projects before AI. Most of them I would never touch again.

Thanks to AI I'm working on them way more, and at a much higher level of engineering standards (especially the recent models are voluntarily adding tests, looking for bugs etc.).

(Well, except for the part about barely reading the code, but I said higher, not high!)

Also I realized the other day that I already reached the point where I don't understand my own code, several years before involving AI in the process!

I don't know if I'm an outlier but I thought that was pretty funny.

Great we really need to read more patronizing emotional slop about AI.

Let me project it back at you; neighbors I sit around the fire pit with having beers talk of how sick of "software people" they are as we over complicated the world.

Everyone else happy to move on regardless of how it impacts software engineers same as software engineers ignored their work upended careers of others.

Of all the skills I have; learning from Michelin chefs, to playing multiple musical instruments, to hardware and software engineering; the only people who care about the eng skills are rich people who want to exploit my labor then lay me off.

As you requested; software devs are being held accountable for the role they had in ending others gigs. Call the waaaahmbulance.
