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.
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.
But now I’m mildly curious: 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?


Because 1 person is responsible for 1 person’s cost of inference.
Training is a whole industry manufacturing analogue, which is exactly the point: that cost must be amortised across every user, not attributable to one person.
We can compare 1 person to 1 person, or 1 industry to 1 industry. We can’t fairly compare 1 person to 1 industry.
