This is a collection of forked open source crates bundled together with open model vibe coding?

> the code written by AI is more robust than by humans because more edge cases are tested.

This is at least a mildly concerning take to see in a blog post announcing a solution to supply chain security.

It seems like this boils down to: don’t trust the original authors to maintain the packages they wrote, trust me and my LLM instead.

And just decided to relicense those forks with no real regard.

Also, it’s a loooong way from the self-contained goal—- there are a lot of third-party crates as dependencies still.

Yikes.

This whole article is red flags. (Mental health issues including narcissism?)

  - No mention of what specifically it does
  - No mention of the advantages and stated reasons for having small std and core libs
  - Libs mentioned as being "shipped" by the author have no commits by him or her.
  - No comparison in the specifics to how it's handling
  - Uses phrasing which might (IMO deliberately) confuse people into thinking this is official.
