It's not virtue signalling but it shows that if the author of said software (if there's one) didn't bother to spend time writing things on the website, there's a correlation that they wouldn't bother spending time writing code either.

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.

I don’t think that’s necessarily true. The author might just dislike (or lack experience) in dealing with frontend. Especially if it’s free or open source. It’s generous to even pay for a domain, right?

Soft eng for 20+ years.

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.

You better get over it because all software will be vibe coded in future.

You’re right. They didn’t bother.

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.
