This is one of worst AI slop posts that I’ve seen upvoted here and on Reddit
- Claims: I rewrote it from scratch and heavily refactored
- OP copied 40 files, then changed 2 classes
- in Modern C++ (std::optional)
- there’s no optional in whole repo
- removed working code:
- hardcoded serial, so networking based lidars won’t work
- “Table of shame”, "Industrial
- If anything this is opposite of industrial
- claims Table of Shame Tight SDK Coupling - but copies the same SDK
- multithreading… the rplidar SDK (that he copied) uses threads internally
- Wrote whole GPT slop blog about it (why?)
I usually upvote everything, and OP might have good idea (Lifecycle), but the way and form is misleading at best and false at worst.
I get it, the Rplidar repo doesn’t take PR’s too often, but the whole vibes of this is… weird.
Now OP will say he used GPT (to make 20 page of slop blog right?) because he’s not native speaker.
