# Your vibe coded slop PR is not welcome

**[Hacker News](https://daily.dev/sources/hn)** · 10 min read · 36 upvotes · 1 comments

## Summary

AI coding tools have created an asymmetry in open source: generating code is now cheap, but reviewing it remains expensive. The author proposes a binary framework distinguishing 'prototypes' (AI-generated demos shared via branches, not PRs) from 'ready-to-review PRs' (human-vouched code meeting project standards). Maintainers face increasing volumes of low-effort AI contributions that consume disproportionate review time. The solution requires clear labeling, contributor etiquette, and recognition that AI assistance is acceptable only when contributors take full ownership of the final code quality.

> PRs shouldn't be dependent on any generative review, defeats the purpose of ensuring code quality
