How come such slop is allowed here, what value do these vibe coded zero shot "projects" add? Why not just post the prompt?

Recruiters used to use the candidate's Github "sources" page for evaluating candidates as a kind of proof-of-work.

  And recruiter agents still do.

Convenience? Am I supposed to take the prompt and use my own tokens on it? Why should I have to do that?

For the same reason that GitHub has a releases page for uploading binaries.

Seriously. When I first looked this project had been pushed the first commit two hours prior. Projects should be at least 3 months old or automatically removed.

  But then that would have the downside of falsely blocking projects that were developed in private and then just pushed to Github (or any public repo). Like I always use my own, self-hosted Forgejo for everything by default.

    If you develop on your own private instance and then mirror to GitHub to release it then there will be 3 months of git history in the logs.

    If it's a project you actually care about and are actively working on it'll be just as good 3 months from now. If it's something that'll be irrelevant in 3 months why should anyone care about it?

      That is true in most cases I guess but just look at the current product in OP. In 3 months, at the pace AI products evolve, we might "all" be using the next AI coding harness and Claude Code could be a thing of the past. So it's not a long lasting tool like curl for example. All I'm trying to say that generalizing like suggested might exclude some useful things.

  Fwiw git history can be forged pretty easily. You can re-timestamp commits

is the value the working outputs or the inputs? A prompt alone would not let you recreate this project.
