I don’t get this. So today he can build the experience he wants with little effort (he likely spent lots of tokens). You made no judgement in the quality or on his experience, only on the age of the repo. Why exactly is that?

I get there will be a lot of crapware, but you’re hackers no? Why all the gatekeeping even amongst yourselves? How much time did the openclaw guy take to built it? A weekend?

Sure, you could say “no thanks”. But all the labs certainly thought it was useful enough to replicate. And yes, it was, still is an insecure mess littered with bugs, but why are we all so repulsed?

It’s a genuine need. I build my own version of this, also on go, haven’t shared bc I am not sure how legal it is to distribute, but I have been using it for months and definitely beats running 6+ apps that keep breaking. I run one binary + jellyfin, never going back.

The problem is not the vibecoding, it is the release of a public facing internet app that is not a day old, hence it is impossible to know if it has security issues. He is supposedly a security engineer and he RELEASES a repo with less than a day old? how do you know it is secure? Again, this is something that will interact with the open internet.

Gatekeeping would be "do not write vibecoded apps for yourself", which is not the case here, this is releasing code for the public in an irresponsible manner.
