I'll add my comment from a previous thread:

This is a bit strange. Are they saying that Codeberg no longer accepts vibe coded projects at all?

If so, it seems kind of short sighted. Within a very short period of time all code will be AI code. What then?

And as the models improve, along with better code will come better bug fixing etc etc. So the quality of AI code will absolutely surpass that of human code. What then?

Will the repositories demand proof of programming ability? Why, when AI will be handling everything anyway. It would be rather like driving schools mandating that all drivers can strip an engine before they're allowed to drive? Very odd.

It's not strange to ban chess computers at a chess tournament, and it's equally not strange to ban AI code on a code hosting platform.

The costs involved with hosting a bunch of vibe coded stuff that no one is really invested in or cares about would undermine the mission of Codeberg, so it makes sense for them. Other code hosting platforms can go a different route.

> Within a very short period of time all code will be AI code.

This is unlikely. Perhaps “most code”, but not “all”.

People can overwhelmingly shift to a new technology, but the old one usually remains in use, even if niche.

See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49004041

"All code will be AI written" is like saying "all code will be written in an IDE". That in itself doesn't matter, nobody should care,and it doesn't make a difference.

The workflow, or complete lack of a workflow, for vibe coded projects in terms of design, architecture, vision, etc.is the problem. The lack of oversight is the problem, and the lack of thinking by an actual human capable of thinking, is the problem.

It would be rather more like driving schools disallowing autopilot.

Not to say that I agree that the metaphor makes sense here in the first place

I suppose, if your completely insane fantasy ever becomes reality, they could simply reverse the policy. Codeberg currently lives in the real world, not your fantasy world, so it makes sense to determine policy based on the state of the real world.

Concerned Citizen: Someone keeps lighting the town hall on fire, can someone arrest them!

Police Officer: #WONTFIX Town hall will be fireproof in the next version

Concerned Citizen: But it's still a crime. And what of the paper and desks inside the building how can that possibly be fireproofed!?

Mayor: Now now Citizen, fireproofing technology has come along way, besides, we've repurposed the Jail House into a Molotov cocktail factory; we couldn't arrest them even if we wanted to.

Concerned Citizen: You did WHAT!? Why would you do that when the Town Hall is burning down every other week!?

Molotov Salesman: Why because this town needs Molotovs to test their fireproofing tech of course. We've set up the arson test pipeline for the good of all in town!

I was kind of thinking of switching to codeberg, but now I am questioning their decisions here.

How do you distinguish a vibe coded project from a heavily AI assisted project? The output is AI generated code. The difference between vibe and agentic coding is how selective you are about the end result and not whether it is AI generated or not.
