The value of any given contribution is the same, regardless of whether the code was written by a seasoned developer, a neophyte as a first project, an LLM, a team of high school students learning the language, or space aliens - the code is the code, it helps or hurts exactly the same when merged with zero connection to who or what wrote it.

Caring about who or what wrote the code is applying prejudice. Prejudice works well in a lot of cases, but it's no guarantee.

the blog post is not about who actually wrote the code, but whether it's worth the effort to do a thorough review. if an actual person made it, then yes because they can learn from it and the world becomes a slightly better place. if it was a vibecoder just using an LLM, then explaining what needs to be done and why does not add much to.the world, but it possibly helps to make the LLM company richer
