People really are so quick to point out LLM usage as some form of virtue-signalling.
It's fairly obvious that an LLM has been used to design the site, but it does the job and the site isn't the focus of the product.

And that's what I see first thing on the repo. Lots of LLM-style writing in the README, which makes me think if this is a vibecoded app, which looks like it.
Happy have LLM code for me.
I won't let them speak for me though. I think people who let AI speak for them in places other humans read probably couldn't speak for themselves pre-LLM. It's sad.
I think the bigger personal challenge is to not outsource thinking, understanding and judgement as we leverage new tools, and to continue our personal learning journeys. After 20+ years as a software engineer, you can probably coast on past experience for a long time... but if you aren't learning and exercising (one way or another), your skills will stagnate. That would be sad.
They did bother to do the thing they loved doing - the thing of value - and didn’t bother doing the boring thing. Instead of finding it within yourself to offer some thanks or encouragement you find an unimportant “blemish” to pile on. If that ain’t virtue signalling I don’t know what is.
It’s also an emphatic reminder of the truism that you just can’t please some people.
It's so easy to spot LLM writing, especially poorly constructed ones like this.

?? I see nothing wrong in there, every word is immediately useful to me as a person interested in this software. You’re being ridiculous
If it were an overly elaborate human creation I'd agree that criticism was unnecessary and perhaps even insensitive.
