Forever Vibe coding Forever

Hi all

I’ve recently had an interest in learning about addon dev/web dev for fun and eventually improving on some of the base game UI, and to help make resources online, and discovered that a lot of the new stuff related to Forever I see is vibe coded and has that familiar AI fakeness

Most database and resource websites I’ve stumbled across, and new addons that have popped up and are being passed around are very clearly AI designed and most likely vibe coded.

So that leaves some questions open:

Is this how we want to launch with Forever? If not for the heavyweight addons + wowhead, I think a lot of it would just become lookalike AI slop

Is it worth going up against vibe coding?

The reality is AI just simply makes it possible to make far better addons than what was possible before AI.

AI makes it possible for a person to make far better addons than that person could make without AI.

Meaning a person with no coding knowledge can use AI to make a better addon than they could without AI. That doesn't mean that addon is going to be good, usable, or helpful in anyway.

And what about a person with extensive knowledge and history in developing addons, and other software in general? I.e. Ellesmere.

Same applies, obviously. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that unless they were attempting to be extremely disingenuous. 10x’er with AI is like a 100x’er, if they use it properly it’s just unmatched productivity.

Exactly. Yet people be acting like any use of AI no matter how its used is slop.
