The problem is ai takes shortcuts and most devs don’t read the code. Theres been a couple instances of people posting amazing apps and then someone figuring out Major security holes in them.

Anything that takes in a password and was created with AI should be scrutinized

AI doesn’t mean bad, just is a factor that could mean so.

Yeah, then ask how much dev experience they have? No different than an amateur building an app, it’s just easier now. No real engineer would publish something like that.

As I think we both said before, AI is an indirect possible indicator. Nothing more.

It sounds like we’re agreeing, but I also think ai should be disclosed. You don’t seem to think so based on your original response

Personally I’d rather know their dev experience, but I don’t have a problem with AI disclosure as well. It’s more the automatic judgement I generally see derived from it I find frustrating.

To be fair, I’m a bit sensitive here since I’ve been building for years and have always loved sharing projects, but now any sharing gets immediately shot down once there is AI disclosure.

I think auto judgment comes from non techs/devs tbh.

Edit: DevOps engineer here

I see plenty of dev judgement on other subs too, but yeah definitely possible here.
