Does vibe coding risk destroying the Open Source ecosystem? According to a pre-print paper by a number of high-profile researchers, this might indeed be the case based on observed patterns and some…

The Swift example was damned incomprehensible, & … well, it was Apple stuff, so making it look idiotic might have been some kind of cultural-exclusivity intention…
The Julia stuff, though, means that you can use Greek symbols, etc, for functions, & get things looking more like what they should…
Also, I think emojis are actually better than my all-text style, for communicating intonation/emotion ( I’m old: learned last century ), & maybe us old geezers ought to adapt a bit, to such things…
That does NOT mean that cartoon “code” is good-enough, whether it’s cartoonish in plaintext or in emojis, though…
I’m just trying to keep the cultural-prejudice & the code-quality being distinct-categories of judgement, you know?
( & cultural-prejudice is an actual thing, though it’s usually called “religious wars”, isn’t it, in geekdom? )
yeah it’s to the point now where if I see emojis in the readme.md on the repo I just don’t even bother.
