> Are you using LLMs for parts of the coding?

I can't talk about the code, but the readme and commit messages are most likely LLM-generated.

And when you take into account that the first commit happened just three hours ago, it feels like the entire project has been vibe coded.

Hard disagree. Initial commit was 6k LOC. Author could've spent years before committing. Ill advised but not impossible.

Why would you make Claude write your commit message for a commit you've spent years working on though?

1. Be not good at or a fan of git when coding

2. Be not good at or a fan of git when committing

Not sure what the disconnect is.

Now if it were vibecoded, I wouldn't be surprised. But benefit of the doubt

We're well beyond benefit of the doubt these days. If it looks like a duck... For me there wasn't any doubt, the author's first top comment here was evidence enough, then seeing the readme + random code + random commit message, it's all obvious LLM-speak to me.

I don't particularly care, though, and I'm more positive about LLMs than negative even if I don't (yet?) use them very much. I think it's hilarious that a few people asked for Python bindings and then bam, done, and one person is like "..wha?" Yes, LLMs can do that sort of grunt work now! How cool, if kind of pointless. Couldn't the cycles have just been spent on trying to make muPDF better? Though I see they're in C and AGPL, I suppose either is motivation enough to do a rewrite instead. (This is MIT Licensed though it's still unclear to me how 100% or even large-% vibe-coded code deserves any copyright protection, I think all such should generally be under the Unlicense/public domain.)

If the intent of "benefit of the doubt" is to reduce people having a freak out over anyone who dares use these tools, I get that.

I have updated the licence to WTFPL.

I'll try my best to make it a really good one!
