One of the things I really don't like about the Vibe-Code wave in programming, is not knowing if a plugin has been created and tested by a person who actually know what code is.

Of course we could get bad and insecure code before, but now it seems there is no stopping people from vibe-coding a fancy looking plugin and just throwing it out there.
I do not install anything that looks vibe-coded, just to have some kind of security.

What is your definition of “ looks vibe-coded”?
Do you use tools to controle?If closed source, what do you do?
What should people that can’t read code do?
I’m just being the devils advocate.

@alf149 I can't understand code, so I'm also just guessing, and I think that's kind of the problem.
Theoretically I have no way to make sure a closed sourced plugin, isn't filled with mistakes.
What I do look for is:
- How fast has the plugin been made
- Has the person/the company a history, and what's the history
- How often is it updated
- What does it look like
- If there is more than one plugin, does there seem to be a consistency across the different plugins
- How is the communication -

@alf149 How is that playing devils advocate?
Your questions are not really relevant to the point, except pointing out that @mosgaard is privileged in being able to decide.
But even being unprivilegded, they point is true. Slop code is a problem. You just have less options to prevent falling in the trap.
Are we havung differet ideas of the role of the deviks advocate.

@pmakholm @mosgaard
I agree “ Slop code is a problem”.
I just find it harder and harder to spot.
I have a hard time suggesting solutions to others, because of this.@mosgaard your way of looking for signs was nice, and was not on the code it self.
And maybe my definition of devils advocate was wrong.
