Just because you or I may invest effort into deep-thinking, it does not mean that others will.

I'm not worried about this at Modal, but I am worried about this in the greater OSS community. How can I reasonably trust that the tools I'm using are built in a sound manner, when the barrier to producing good-looking bad code is so low

We’re already there. Seeing OpenClaw and the new thing LocalGPT on the front page. It’s clear these projects are pretty heavily vibe coded and I have no trust that they are tested, secure or even work as advertised. It’s going to suck when all projects become that. When you can’t trust that a library works as advertised.

Honest answer: You never could.
