Even hand coded projects need more than 6 months before I’ll replace anything in my stacks. Too many projects start with great intention but then the founder gets bored (life gets in the way?) and they go unmaintained. Really I’m looking for projects that enough developers have got involved in that I can be confident it won’t go stagnant. I could be one of those developers, but I don’t have enough time to contribute to all the different projects I use (I barely have time to contribute to the one project I maintain)
as long as developers are aware of limitations and shortcomings of LLMs in coding, have an understanding of best practices in coding, and are upfront about how they use coding agents, i don’t think there is an issue with such projects or using such tools responsibly
