Do you have some ideas about how many useful tools these days people create
using vibe coding ? A lot of them are good ideas,they help users,they
deserve more attention and review. Houston we have a problem. With the
birth of the AI everything has changed and a solution should be found
to support
progress (when this brings new possibilities to improve users' lives). I?m
not against you.  You have your good reasons for opting out, but 99% of
developers do it like you, and that's not good. I myself created a large
project, a Linux VM using Qemu accelerated by bhyve, months ago, and no
serious developer has shown interest so far, and I don't think they will. I
repeat. Houston, we have a problem. If we want lots of useful, working code
to enter FreeBSD and improve it, we need a solution. I don't know what it
is, though; I'm not so experienced.
