According to the release:

Adds experimental PostgreSQL support

The code was written by Cursor and Claude

14,997 added lines of code, and 10,202 lines removed

reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks

This makes me uneasy, especially as ntfy is an internet facing service. I am now looking for alternatives.

Am I overreacting or do you all share the same concern?

Most skilled engineers, and even mildly skilled engineers don't use slopgenerators to write code. Some of them use it sometimes to do some menial tasks, although I'm not convinced it actually saves them time. It sure doesn't every time we measure it.
There is however a plague of low skilled people who convinced themselves that they've found a shortcut to being an engineer. Those people are producing bad things at a fast pace, and the only reason we're not in an unsolvable crisis yet is that their slop isn't hitting prod very often on account of being bad.
