I see, your little ass that can't code is offended of being locked down! Damn
As someone who can code, has coded for 40 years for a living, I'll say: LLMs can be heavily abused to write a lot of garbage. I'll also say: give a human enough time, and they can write almost as much garbage but they usually get discouraged by all the errors and crashes and have the good sense to give up - but these humans armed with LLMs can at least make stuff that runs.
I'll also say: LLMs can be used as very effective tools, if you exercise the kind of care and planning that has always been required to write "good" (whatever your definition of "good" may be) software. They do speed up development - some development ends up in a good place, some... not so much. It was always like this even long before LLMs, but LLMs help get to those endpoints much faster.
This is not vibe coding, vibe coding is using only the AI for making code without you knowing what the heck is happening and doing
If you know what you do and understand what the LLM does, you aren't vibe coding, you are using it as a tool to speed up the development, that's a big difference IMO
If Billy the graphic designer that never coded "makes" an app using Claude, he is vibe coding
If Torvalds make an app using Claude and understand what is the AI doing and what the code does, it's not vibe coding
(That's how i see it and how i judge the projects i am goin to use, being against LLMs is stupid honestly)
Thats your opinion just as this ban will be their opinion of if your code is good enough to be on their site. Which is bullshit
