I was ready to learn more about this but I saw "written in Rust" and I literally rolled my eyes and said never mind.

I think "written by genAI" should be a bigger turnoff than "written in Rust".

  alternative opinion: * it is possible to write high quality software using GenAI * not using GenAI could mean project won't be competitive in current landscape

    > not using GenAI could mean project won't be competitive in current landscape why? this is false in my opinion, iterating fast is not a good indicator of quality nor competitiveness
    - andriy_koval 7mo ago
      iterating fast over quality (e.g. refactoring, tests coverage, benchmarks, documentation, trying new nontrivial ideas) is a good indicator of quality.

        you can’t iterate fast over quality though. it takes patience and expertise, not a bloated repo like this. every example you mentioned is not something you should delegate to LLMs, unless quick prototyping

      sure, there are bad genAI projects and there are good genAI projects. You can remove genAI term from previous sentence.

Too bad you don't do the same for commenting on HN.

Because it was explicitly advertising Rust and you can't stand the zealotry or because you hate Rust? Because the latter is really dumb. I don't mind a software written in C, although I personally wouldn't want to write it anymore.
