"It's open source, you can review the code" has become one of the most annoying thought-terminating clichés. Sure, we could:

  • Parse the code that the owner likely doesn't fully understand
  • Figure out the application logic that the owner also likely doesn't understand
  • Check the logic for anything that might cause unwanted side-effects
  • Check the logic for malware behaviour
  • Run tests (and review the test code because it's also likely vibe coded)
  • Pray and beg that everything works
  • Repeat every time the software needs to be updated

Or we could warn others that the owner couldn't be assed to either write the code or review what some LLM farted out, and that neither they nor their code should be trusted.

It's gas station weed. It's a drink from a stranger at a night club who swears there's nothing in it.

Damn, was actually looking forward to trying this.

Especially because it is vibe coded. I wouldn't even do this with every application on every update for a software that is written by good humans. At most for a single application I fall in love with.
