Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Cloudflare just announced in a blog post that they built:
it's a vibe-coded pile of slop where most of the functions are placeholders like
// TODO: check authorization.Full thread: https://tech.lgbt/@JadedBlueEyes/115967791152135761
And of all possible things to implement, they chose Matrix. lol and lmao.
The interesting thing in this case for me is how did anyone think it was a good idea to draw attention to their placeholder code with a blog post. Like how did they went all the way to vibe a full post without even cursorily glancing at the slop commits.
I'm convinced by now that at least mild forms of "AI psychosis" affect all chatbots users; after a period of time interacting with what Angela Collier called "Dr. Flattery the Always Wrong Robot", people will hallucinate fully working projects without even trying to test whether it compiles.
