"I built" more like claude-code built.

Also I don't know what the rush is to get a shiny new Rust implementation out asap that you need to vibe code the entire thing.

The Github stars couldn't be that serious.

Also the disclaimer at the end "Built with <3 in Rust. Ready for production use.";

Ready for production use is a strong strong claim when the entire thing is vibe-coded.

The two big signifiers that something is "ready for production use" are: 1) it has been successfully been used in production at some scale for a while, and 2) it has some commitment to API stability. A 1 week old project on version "0.1.0" is neither, whether vibe-coded or not.

OP here. I frankly stopped trying to add evals for the "ready for production" happiness Claude is trained to produce. I agree, not ready for production. I did though put a intention and effort into guarding against slop in implementation and tests. Sure I can still find it, but I believe the current state is solid enough to build on, and I will be doing so for some pet projects. I'll let you know what I find when using it in anger.

What do you mean by this?

> I frankly stopped trying to add evals for the "ready for production" happiness Claude is trained to produce.

It's your readme, no? Does Claude just go in and change it behind your back..? What's going on here, are you not in control of what you push to git?

Moreover, what thought process makes you okay with lying in your readme just because the robot wanted you to?

Did you look at the code? There's probably AI slop in the unit tests or other ancillary code, but the API and core code show obvious signs of significant care and attention. I couldn't find evidence of the kind of slop Claude can create in rust in the 2 source files I looked at. Vibe-coded means not looking at the code, this is very obviously not that.

Thank you. Along the way in doing this I spent most of my effort in providing guard rails to eliminate or reduce slop. My goal was something I can use in other pet projects and maintain. I'm satisfied with the outcome, and appreciate you noticing it wasn't just yolo vibe coding.
