Would look more appealing without the AI flavour. If you're vibe coding, do yourself a favor and write website copy yourself - it's the only evidence of human input or oversight your project will have.
- throwaway27448 3mo agoI still think code quality itself reigns supreme. I couldn't give less of a damn about a website.
- catlifeonmars 3mo agoCode quality at one point in time is useful, but what you want is dependability over time and responsiveness to security fixes; this means looking at the maintainer and their attention to detail. Sure, the website by itself doesn’t mean anything, but placed into context it could mean the maintainer doesn’t put much effort into clear, unambiguous communication.
- trueadm 3mo agoWe’ll address the website content :) thank you for the feedback
- gbjcantab 3mo agoIt’s especially grating in this case because Dominic Gannaway, the creator of Octane, is the real deal (creator of Inferno, former React core team member, former Svelte core team member); so the project landing page looks like generic 2026 slopcoded abandonware, but it is in fact a real project made by someone who’s one of the great minds of frontend framework development (with heavy Claude use apparently, to be clear).
- lioeters 3mo agoSad to see formerly talented software developers become mediocre and bland, losing their unique flavor and personality. Maybe there's still some insight or idea that's their own creation, but it's obscured by the same text and code generation service, a soul-less corporate voice. It's possible language models will mature to better emulate that ineffable quality of having a "heart" or "taste", but it would still be empty without a person on the other side.
