I think "written by genAI" should be a bigger turnoff than "written in Rust".

  alternative opinion: * it is possible to write high quality software using GenAI * not using GenAI could mean project won't be competitive in current landscape

    > not using GenAI could mean project won't be competitive in current landscape why? this is false in my opinion, iterating fast is not a good indicator of quality nor competitiveness
    • andriy_koval 6mo ago
      iterating fast over quality (e.g. refactoring, tests coverage, benchmarks, documentation, trying new nontrivial ideas) is a good indicator of quality.

        you can’t iterate fast over quality though. it takes patience and expertise, not a bloated repo like this. every example you mentioned is not something you should delegate to LLMs, unless quick prototyping

          > every example you mentioned is not something you should delegate to LLMs, unless quick prototyping it works very well for me, llm with guidance produces good quality code.

    > * it is possible to write high quality software using GenAI From examine this codebase it doesn’t appear to be written carefully with AI. It looks like code that was promoted into existence as fast as possible.

      sure, there are bad genAI projects and there are good genAI projects. You can remove genAI term from previous sentence.
