I'm surprised (without any particular positive/negative valence) that the article doesn't mention using AI to write the port - especially since both CEL and protovalidate have fairly extensive conformance testing harnesses. The project should be right in the sweet spot for today's tools.

The omission is especially striking since most of the article sounds AI-authored to me. (Pangram agrees, for what that's worth.)



The code is also clearly all vibecoded.

I think this is the usual we get these days: "Show HN: I built..." where in fact author did write neither the code nor the writeup.


Is the "chore" commit subject prefix an AI thing? I've started seeing that at work too...


Semantic git commits have been a thing for years - https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/

I've always liked them and tried to convince others to use them

AI models seem to like them as well


This was a thing before LLMs, but you’d frequently see it in open source repos. So LLMs are just regurgitating what they saw.


Not an AI thing per-se [1] but may be pushed by or increased in usage by the agents.

Used it for years in part because of https://git-cliff.org/


Maybe they just didn't want to deal with people arguing about our field's current omnipresent discourse topic in the context of their project?


I find it’s incredibly rude to subject coworkers or members of the public to reading vibe slop.

I don’t mind it under either of two conditions:

1. The slop is used as a starting point only - then thoroughly reviewed and edited to meet a human quality level

2. The article discloses up front that it is AI slop so I can decide if I want to spend my valuable time engaging with it.
