alt Hacker NewsOur port of Messaging to Compose was clearly not vibe coded as both the parent comment and yours are wrongly portraying it. Experienced developers have been working on overhauling the app for months with a lot of back and forth code review to get the pull requests into shape. We don't have a policy against using AI for assistance as long as the resulting code meets our high standards.
We definitely use frontier AI models with cybersecurity access unlocked for code review. Those often find problems we didn't catch via multiple rounds of human review. The output is filled with hallucinations and incorrect details but an experienced developer can sift through it, identify the real issues it uncovered and get those fixed.

You need to stop the flagging ring operation of any mild questioning or criticism Daniel – it's a very bad look for the project, and also against the acceptable behaviour on this site
Flagging is not for what you perceive to be incorrect information or things you disagree with or to shut down conversation. You always reply to a comment to clear it up – that's enough. And of course organised flagging is totally unacceptable.
There are enough instances now I will compile a list and email the moderators who can hopefully correct your behaviour
How did my comment portray your port as you are vibecoding it? I just said that AI is being used.
It seems obvious to me that you guys would use it responsibly.
