> * brand new indie label releases (bandcamp)

> * commercial albums variants missing from musicbrainz/discogs

I fixed those two by adding the missing releases to the database beets uses as its data source (musicbrainz.org), and importing the album in Beets afterwards. I still get notifications for edits to entries I contributed over a decade ago!

You take the same cut from big players and give the smaller ones a break. I think Valve could afford that without any issue.

> How much do you think they should take?

A 15–20% fee would be much fairer in my opinion. They’d still be making plenty of money while letting developers keep more of what they earn through their hard work. At the very least, they should differentiate between big players and smaller indie developers.

No question about it!

Edit: that said, the 30% fee is pretty greedy (Apple-level greedy) and they could be doing better at least in that regard.

> Is "vibe engineering" a correct term for this?

Anything with the word “vibe” in it sounds silly and unserious imho. What’s wrong with something neutral and descriptive like “LLM-assisted programming”? Not catchy enough?
