@DepthSight@lemmy.world you made this post right in the middle of a bigger conversation around promotional posts, so be aware that this post may be removed later pending the outcome of that discussion in the meta thread here:

For everyone else, here is why I'm leaving the thread up:
Here is where I see a potential problem:
For those coming here and reporting, please be aware this doesn't blatantly break any rules imo, only the (extremely subjective) rule 2, which I don't think fits for the reasons I noted above. Making a good reference for discussion in the meta.
Hi @curbstickle_lw, thank you for stepping in and for taking the time to actually look at the project instead of just auto-deleting it based on reports!
I did read the meta thread, and I completely understand the community's frustration with closed-source, paid advertisements.
To be completely transparent about the two points you raised:
I really appreciate you giving the project a fair look and making a distinction between actual open-source projects and corporate spam. I'll gladly stick around to answer any technical questions!
The key word there is "community". You're not part of this community, you just came here to shill your AI slop.
Calling an enterprise-grade platform featuring a 40+ node visual graph editor, dual backtesting engines, and full multi-tenant isolation "AI slop" just because an LLM accelerated the syntax development is pure ideological gatekeeping. This "slop" objectively outperforms every proprietary $100/mo trading SaaS and basic CLI script in existence right now. If you have an actual architectural critique regarding the FastAPI/Celery setup, the PgBouncer integration, or the Redis ACL security model, I'm all ears. Otherwise, you're just yelling at a cloud.
Evolve. Or Don't Look Up.
Criiiiiiingeee
Self righteous self promoting new account that uses AI to write posts for them and is proud about it.
Criiiiiiingeee
ew why are you so toxic and arrogant?
I wanted to upvote you, cause I am not psrt of the anti-ai mob, but then I read you last sentence and the rest of this thread and holy fuck are you unlikable and unbearable.
You asked for feedback and that's what you got. Don't get pissy when it's not what you were hoping for. It's pretty clear that your project is not welcome in this community.
Ooh, I made you mad enough to use your own words instead of telling the chatbot to write your reply! I'll do it again: Slop.
Actually, I'm still using an LLM to write this, since English isn't my native language (as I mentioned earlier).
It’s a pity that, unlike an LLM, you clearly didn’t grasp the reference at the end of my last message. You should probably paste it into one of them—they’ll gladly explain it to you.
I grasped it, I just ignored it. Unlike you, I can use my brain to understand things without having a computer explain it to me.
You are right, though, I should have recognized that awkward mic-drop attempt for the slop tell that it was.
