"Oh!" you say, while laughing politely, backing slowly out of the room while smiling

boo hoo there's been such an uptick of code and most of it is slop and also scrapers are hitting our website harder than ever before

what company could possibly have normalized both of these things

who could have done it

just a very quick and messy still life of stuff on my desk

It's been a while so here's a warmup animation of a guy in your replies

This is from last month but... holy fucking shit, Amazon rolls its software back by *3 months* due to outages caused by vibecoding https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/ai-code-wreaked-havoc-with-amazon-outage-and-now-the-company-is-making-tight-rules/

I hope Blender doesn't start incorporating genAI contributions into its codebase also.

The Rust part isn't what's interesting to me as much as... 9 cents for a risc-v microcontroller?!
