One of the features is “no vibe coding, classic development style.”

I think that’s kind of interesting, especially when building a retro enablement.

But I wonder does this mean no AI was used at all? Even for say, code review?

No judgment either way just curious for clarification.

This is from the original authors of ZSNES. I think they know what they're doing.

smartassery aside LLMs are pretty shit at esoteric stuff like this. Especially retro stuff in my experience they mainly tend to get super excited about how awesome and retro it is & reiterate misunderstood factoids about it that it knows that aren't that important/that you probably know already. Like showing it to a Reddit comment section.

Funny, we now enter the era of "Made with Handcrafted Code" or "Handmade" . Same way as furniture, carpets and any other "handcrafts" are made now... or Lamborghinis

Would that be surprising to you?

"no vibe coding" is different from "no ai". I'm not sure where the authors are going with this. No autocomplete? What level of autocomplete? No "deep learning"?
