But people happily trust unknown packages in NPM. It's a matter of culture and consensus. If this vibecoded weekend project was a Google internal SWE's with 16 agents running complex architected tasks, people would look at it differently, so AI usage isn't a good proxy for quality, but you can feel when there's care in a project.

I mean... I don't, and I don't think anybody should.

Yeah, but I do think trust, confidence, personal reliability are key factors here. Slop wasn't invented by AIs. We used to call them "script kiddies" - people who only knew how to copy and paste.

I couldn't agree more! This is such an important point.
