I don’t usually share what I build. Most of it lives on Codeberg or Github as a glorified off-site backup. 3-2-1 and all that. If I nuke my drive, I can pull it back down. That’s the whole point for me.
A while back I mentioned Pimaps here, a few people asked to see it, so I posted it. Got dunked on for AI slop despite explicitly marking which parts were AI-assisted (documentation and review- flagged with AIP). Similar story with Cliparr. I get it - Lemmy hates AI in any capacity.
What does the community actually expect from devs when sharing a project? I’m not assuming everyone here is a professional dev - though I’d guess the overlap is significant - so I’m wondering where the bar sits.
Polish? Full handwritten codebase? Something else?
How much of the sausage making do you actually want to see?
I don’t understand this behaviour. They’re little stars on a website.
Stars.
I mean…why not go for unicorns or rainbows or something?
Are you 6? Or what?
Anyway, I agree with you. That is probably the main reason for not interacting on Reddit for me too (the LLM fora are even worse with it). The only thing I can surmise is that GitHub stars somehow equal social validation equals…I don’t get what.
Once again, little fake shiny yellow stars.
