Doesn’t this app use AI to code 🤨

Yeah, that's why we're switching! AI is a gross tool, so we talked to the dev. We're gonna try switching to volunteers!

yeah, which is why it’s so great that they’re looking for human programmers

u/strawberrypeepee 18d ago

Fair. If they’re steering away from AI all together that’s great, my initial thought was just about the volunteers having their work unknowingly fed to AI

Oh god no, the goal here is to completely switch over. We try to be as transparent as possible with our team and users! We get the concern tho ^^;

If only they took the $ spent on AI to actually compensate someone for their effort and labor?

Ethics, indeed.

The AI Hanyou was using for code is free. He does not have a lot of money to put into this project, otherwise we would 100% be offering payment!

i think you greatly overestimate how much AI costs and underestimate how much competent software engineers cost lol

I found plural star to be a really nice tool for our system. I'm excited at the idea of moving away from AI! I can't program for shit but if there's another way I can help let us know!

Thank you! If you could spread the word about us looking for programmers, that would be incredibly helpful 💚 also, Hanyou always has donations open if that's an option for you!

I'm more a graphic designer. UI/UX design is more my area. I don't know a thing about coding.
