While the debate around usefulness of LLMs seems to mostly be "programmers are already redundant" and "LLMs will never amount to anything", I find most peers I talk to in real life say "It's useful for some things but it also bad at a lot so hey, don't use a hammer for everything?".

It seems to be a common problem in OSS that reviewer time is wasted on vibecoded work that wasn't even reviewed by a the LLM operator, and I personally know people who have been PISSED at discovering (especially juniors) submitting LLM output verbatim for review. I have also seen a rise in accusations of entire projects being vibe coded, and warnings to stay away from certain people as they are likely to heavily rely on LLM. More transparency may help solve some of these issues, and is also simply polite.

I have started warning people whenever I share something that is 100% vibe coded, and I think others may be doing the same. It sucks to realize someone spent 30 mins reviewing garbage you shared with your name attached to it. But if that something is a quick PoC to prove a point, it doesn't mean that it isn't worth sharing.

More than anything though, this is a conversation starter.
