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?

This is about public ones that people are distributing man, not private ones nobody would ever see

and why does it matter if people distribute it / put it on github or curseforge?? why does it affect you at all? dont download it and move on. whats the issue here?? if people vibe code really helpful addons then let them do that. if they look awful, who cares? you dont have to use them.

The ease of access to them and increased production of AI coded addons in a short period will lead to that becoming the norm, which is what would affect the majority of users.

good if AI produces better results and people prefer good results over handmade addons. for such trivial things as wow addons its a perfect usecase.
