This makes me uneasy, especially as ntfy is an internet facing service. I am now looking for alternatives.
Am I overreacting or do you all share the same concern?
The maintainer you and said that they tirelessly tested, reviewed and verified changes over the course of 3 weeks to make sure that things were running and operating correctly.
This is how it should be done. It’s not like they’re vibe coding this.
And the lead dev for Huntarr said they were following best practices, and had a heavy background in cybersecurity. And we’ve all seen how that turned out.
This change 100% smells like vibe code. They refactored nearly 15k lines of code in a single push. That’s not something you just do on a whim without a team of full time devs or vibe coding. And we know they don’t have the former, so it is almost certainly the latter.
