| Hi, I'm on team that worked on this. No it's not vibe coded. We do pretty intense code review of every PR. It looks like the number you're seeing is including lock files and artifacts that are not part of the core coverage. |
| |
| ▲ | einr 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | Fair enough if it’s not vibe coded, I’ll take your word for it. Code review seems like it’s mostly bots (Claude, Cursor, Greptile) from the PRs I looked at? Nevertheless, AI use is not what really stood out to me. It’s that it’s SO MUCH CODE. I have no idea how you guys maintain or reason about the quality or security of something like this. Good luck, I guess. | | |

| ▲ | einr 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | My comments teaches the reader that the codebase of yet another identical LLM chat app by an organization most well known for wasting money on stupid shit is one hundred and twenty thousand lines of fucking code. If I can't post about that without getting admonished by a snarky moderator and his copy/paste skills then go to hell, I don't want to be here and evidently anyone who is not interested in circle jerking around the utter shitscape that is the current state of the software industry shouldn't be either. Please consider this an official request to delete my account and all the data in it, I'm done with this. | | |

| >120k LoC of probably largely vibecoded nonsense for a window with a text box and a button that lets you send and receive some data over a HTTP API. "I will make loads of assumptions without checking so that I can invent reasons to get mad" Note that about 30,000 of those lines are JSON files for localization and testing, as one example. |
| |
| ▲ | einr 8 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | How much UI text does this thing have that it needs thousands of lines of localization? Where are these files? Especially curious because I see a whole lot of hardcoded english text in there… | |

Regarding "loads of assumptions," it's hard to tell how much of this is vibecoded slop (definitely non-zero looking at the commit log), but I don't think it's that outrageous to claim 87k sloc is too much for a textbox and an API wrapper. | |
| ▲ | stonogo 8 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Are you arguing that 90k LoC for a window with a text box and an overengineered textarea tag is somehow more acceptable than 120k? | | | |
| ▲ | glitchc 7 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | That's still an immense amount of code for a chat interface essentially consisting of a text box and a button, which any OS (mobile or desktop) can usually throw up in a few lines of code. |

| Maybe you wouldn't be so tired if you didn't make assumptions of things to be mad about |

| Wait what ? Did you include libraries imported by NPM in this count ? |
