What i did more than once was directly get in contact with a mantainer or the lead developer(more often than not i befriended them too) and suggest some GUI improvements directly, it’s ofc not doable everytime because otherwise the devs would just have too many people to manage.
Ask if you can join the development team as the “UX/UI person” and show what works you already did, there is a good chance that you can either join or they will ear you out more often when you make an Issue/PR

There was nothing democratic about fascism, when Mussolini was elected, it was because he had marched on Rome and the king was like, “Hmm, let him in” and appointed him as minster because there was a desperate need of a stable government and everyone was “let the king do it, we can dismiss mussolini later, he is just an idiot” and you know what happened next

All the elections in which the fascists took part were marked by the fear caused by their violence

LLMs can be used as very effective tools, if you exercise the kind of care and planning that has always been required to write “good” (whatever your definition of “good” may be) software. They do speed up development - some development ends up in a good place, some… not so much. It was always like this even long before LLMs, but LLMs help get to those endpoints much faster.

This is not vibe coding, vibe coding is using only the AI for making code without you knowing what the heck is happening and doing

If you know what you do and understand what the LLM does, you aren’t vibe coding, you are using it as a tool to speed up the development, that’s a big difference IMO

If Billy the graphic designer that never coded “makes” an app using Claude, he is vibe coding

If Torvalds make an app using Claude and understand what is the AI doing and what the code does, it’s not vibe coding

(That’s how i see it and how i judge the projects i am goin to use, being against LLMs is stupid honestly)
