somebody is giving me a play by play of their vibe code refactoring of Charybdis (the ircd family that powered freenode for 16 years)

I don't even

@ariadne a user sends a message in a channel. the vibe code explodes.

@ariadne well *MY* AI says it won't scale as well. So there.

I get the thought, but some people give off real "my dad says you're wrong" energy when asking LLMs things. Like I vibe code now all the time, but I fully expect every damn change set to have to be reviewed, understood and tested by a human* ( me since I'm the one submitting the PR) if I expect them to even look at PR. Not just "trust me bro, Claude said it was better"

@ariadne How old were you even when working on that. I remember you had code in ircd-hyperion which is even older

@pius I was 17 when I worked on Hyperion.

@ariadne why is someone forking charybdis in 2026 and not solanum?

@noisytoot they started from ophion actually
