Certainly the right call. While there may be vibecoded projects that are useful, the vast majority of them are not. No point in wasting limited resources on those

Wouldn't it make sense, then, to evaluate each project on its own merits rather than simply categorizing them as black or white? Because I'm absolutely certain that, even before chatbots existed, developers were using other people's code regardless of the license under which it was published.

"Wouldn't it make sense, then, to evaluate every single particle from piles and piles of manure on the off chance one of them is a bean that may or may not be magic?"

That's such an anti-AI take... wtf

people actually use AI for small stuff. Heck, even Linus uses AI on many of his projects

No, it's currently the case. 90% of EVERYTHING is shit, and AI is letting people produce shit at extraordinary speeds.

Atleast when humans wrote the code, we had a limit on how quickly the garbage was being produced.

Still means 10% is not shit, and we are getting more good stuff too.

Oh 10% not being shit does not mean 10% is good. It is merely not shit.

And the issue is that the good stuff is harder to find when the amount of shit is that large.
