14,997 added lines of code, and 10,202 lines removed
reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks
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?
A many-month-long refactor on code you’ve already written is less than fun. While I don’t love seeing a project I’m using being 80% replaced by Claude code, I’ve had Claude code look at some of my old projects and find underlying issues I was able to verify, and then suggested a more best-practice approach that I wasn’t even aware of. The real question is, was the claude output better than the original code? If it is and it has unit tests and many eyes on it, it’s quite possible that it’s better off now.
I’ll sit on my current versions for a few months and let everyone else test it out :)
I agree with you, though even when I have just made a change myself, I am looking through the git diff like a crazy person.
So, still I think refactoring my own code is much more fun than telling AI to do it for me and then proceeding to review and test it for weeks (allegedly, lol).
You seem to be using it responsibly by asking it how things could be better.
I’d never copy and paste output from an AI or give it free roam to make a PR, etc myself.
I’ll probably be sitting out on this update for a while too until I gage the general reactions of people heh :)
