I’m not trying to take over the conversation, but “vibe code” is something that’s going to be a part of our new reality, and we should all get on board. Open source exists because people give their time and energy to create software out of their free time. So, I truly believe that people in the open source community should have the freedom to do whatever they want. OpenSUSE has a great way of putting it: “The makers’ choice.”
If I had access to agentic workflows back then, PrettyTables.jl and SatelliteToolbox.jl might have been way better than they are now. I spent ages trying to create a TUI framework for Julia in TextUserInterfaces.jl using NCurses, and I’m still just getting started. @kahliburke has created something much more powerful and advanced without using any external libraries. The result is clear: Tachikoma.jl works perfectly. I’m migrating a TUI for our satellite simulator, and it’s much faster than the ncurses version.
So, my humble suggestion to @kahliburke is: continue doing whatever you are doing and wanting because the outcome is impressive!
