This shouldn't have needed public outcry to happen but it's good that it does exist.

If only other tech companies did the same.

That said, address bar autocomplete is still completely broken for me (especially on Android) since Mozilla started messing with this modern crop of "AI".

It's not yet ready for prime time but it's good enough to get more people to try it out.

Over the christmas break I made a small guessing game for JRPGs (since that's a gaming genre I appreciate).

I have a lot of ideas to expand it still but time is a limiting factor (and no, it was not vibe coded :) )

What a depressing world the one we live in where this needs to be an article that exists at all in what should be democratic countries.

I saw these tweets from the vibe coding dealers and I think that first sentence says it all: "Programming always sucked"

Any software developer worth their salt should see the immediate red flag.

Programming is the FUN bit. Dealing with stakeholders, getting clear and stable requirements, debugging issues, reviewing code... That's the painful parts!

And of course no one is talking about the cost (be that environmental or even monetary) because money is seemingly infinite for this slop.

I can't be the only person exhausted by the never-ending threadmill of "yearly personal objectives" and "expectation of growth"?

Why must everything be a yearly goal? Why can't the goal be "stay the course"? Try and claim that on one of these things and see how that pans out.

It's the infinite growth mindset that's enshitified products applied to making the workers day to day life a constant source of fear of failure

A piada faz-se sozinha:
> A Polícia de Segurança Pública (PSP) realizou uma Operação Especial de Prevenção Criminal (OEPC) na zona do Martim Moniz, em Lisboa, que tinha "como propósito retirar armas da rua". Não foram apreendidas armas.

Dick Cheney was truly one of the Dicks of all time
