@sytone @selfhosted Hello, let me contribute with my 2 cents of experience in automated generation of code, I won't say "vibe coding" as it means nothing and marketing always uses meaningless words to make concepts more appealing.
I started it the last week of July and for my YunoHost based selfhost echosystem I'm building a multilingual framework for WordPress.
There are so many plugins, paid or free, for this CMS but I'm totally blind and most of them don't cover my accessibility needs. So, I'm experimenting AI use to create what I personally need. This on-demand code generation, lets me be self-determined on what I want, because I guide the machine with words. Text only. And it responds.
Am I a developer? No. Unfortunately I don't know how exact the code is, if something written in 10 lines could be managed just with two.
But I have something working for my own project, still in development in fact it's called MARS (Multilingual Accessible Rudimental System), used "rudimental" without hiding anything, to signal that it's not hardcoded by a very experienced dev. And chose the acronym "Mars" because this planet is the longest and most difficult human ambition, full of obstacle, exactly how my web experimentation journey is.
I can't deny I'm trying to study ways to share it with other devs, when it's ready, I have no ideas of dates and I won't ask for any money back, if it will ever be shared. But my most relevant thought is not to share it as I've got no first-hand verification on vulnerabilities.
Last but not least, I'd invite to read this article on blindness, AI, and also coding.
