X uses recommendations, so you don’t see all the projects and small accounts. You consume curated content.
Most of them aren't slop. They're actually quite useful, but I guess the anti-AI cult wants to silence all AI-aided projects in an attempt to point out how "there's no new software being written by AI".
For me the key thing is that a program that cannot be maintained and improved over time without introducing numerous regressions may as well have not existed, because even those that were useful at one point in time quickly cease to be so due to bugs cropping up from the project being a quivering, duct taped together mass of misery or because it stopped getting updates when the project owner found themselves painted into a corner and broke with an OS update.
Note that I am not a hardline anti-LLM type. I have my reservations, but do make use of them. I do however see a massive difference in quality between knowledgeable devs using them to augment their own abilities and non-devs or newbie devs just telling Claude to bake the whole pie.
- ffmpeg port
- a novel web browser engine
- multiple kernels/os projects
- POSIX shell
- a from scratch crypto implementation library of all commonly (and uncommonly) used crypto primitives
- new VCS that outperformed Git
- git rewritten in rust
- multiple custom new languages written in rust
- new experimental borrow checker
- from scratch new standard library
- countless (genuinely unique) command line tools
If there is something novel in the port, people usually write an article about that or at least mention it in the README.
