How it’s implemented: Vibe coding is the answer Sorry, you want me to give browser privileges to code written by AI?

Where is it shown that it was written by vibe coding?

You should stick with extensions that have lots of stars, that way you know they're trustworthy and secure.

  I assume you're being facetious; because popular (and good, trustworthy) extensions written by initially passionate people often end-up being bought-out by dodgy orgs - with very-hard-to-refuse offers - and the Chrome Extension Store has no way of knowing about that. I had a Chrome extension with about 20,000 users and I received unsolicited buyout offers a few times a year, and some offers were very hard to refuse - but it's not hard to imagine anyone else capitulating.

    What were the larger offers you received?
    - DaiPlusPlus 2y ago
      They were all below $10,000 USD, but some were very close to that.

While I agree with you 200%, the code is there for you to review. I skimmed it and it didn’t seem difficult to grok, keep in mind I speak almost no JavaScript or typescript.

AI is mere mirror of human code.

  It's a very bad mirror then. For example the Linux kernel has mirrors where it's source code can be downloaded from. AI cannot even "mirror" the Linux kernel. Try it! Ask it to deliver a monolithic kernel that works on a bunch of architectures and has drivers for a bunch of hardware. It will yield nothing close to the Linux kernel.

This is 100% a fair point of view and you’re right to be skeptical. With the blog post I was just trying to convey that cursor + auto select model was not great at this task. It gave me a project structure, but besides that everything had to be refactored.

  Thanks for clarifying!
