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?
Consider a donation to help people providing you the open source software you seem to depend upon.
Usage of a helper tool to perform tasks on code whether it is AI or the IDE internal features can reduce the work load of benevolent developers who has not asked you to use their softwares.
Maybe the language was not appropriate but get real. With the little revenue generated by the usage of people complaining, the use of AI agentic coding might be the only way to bring features without pushing benevolent devs to burnout.
Edit: to bring, not to being!
You are completely correct, and to be honest I’ve tested commercial product features in prod as well on teams that have the capacity to handle it and make a living on it, unlike this maintainer.
I’m also experimenting heavily with vibe coding and I think it has many uses for a seasoned programmer while getting a lot of flak.
Of course there are issues and problems with it, but for me it had been helping out a lot.
