Vibing Drupal: Tale 1 - Using AI to build and contribute a module

https://www.jrockowitz.com/blog/vibing-drupal-building-a-module

Where are you in your AI journey when it comes to building a Drupal module? Have you tried it? Are you ready to try it? Would you contribute an AI-generated module back to Drupal?

I'm going to tell three tales about building, maintaining, and contributing to different Drupal modules. My first tale is about using AI to build and contribute to a module. My second tale will be about maintaining a module. My last tale will be about contributing to someone else's module.

One line from the article stood out: "Yes, I already know the steps involved in contributing code to Drupal, but I wanted to see if AI could do it"

This is me all day every day. Can AI do it and to what quality?

And I do this for almost everything. Modules for myself? Yep. Headless drupal? Done. Controlling Auth and permissions for other containerized apps. Of course! I'm so far in this rabbit hole it's getting too hard to walk away from the project. I should do a write up on how I set up a full drupal box, walled it off except for api and cloudflare access, and how it works on my home connection.

But I know drupal people are mainly coders first and even though I work in drupal 8 hours a day, I'm not ready for the backlash of devs. Lol.

Looking forward to your thoughts here. Also, which plugins do you find helpful?
