"Pissing in the soup" doesn't really work here unless you're adulterating the software with something malicious.

This was in response to rsync having horrible new bugs from vibe coding that were so bad that people thought they had malware. Does the intent matter when the end result is the same?

Holy crap I thought rsync is a super serious and professional program. Didn't thought they ruin it with vibecodeing.

A lot of important infra depends rsync.

Apparently the project got overwhelmed with LLM vulnerability reports, so the last person in the world who actually cared enough to keep maintaining it gave up and gave in to the spop himself.

I read that the guy is a legend and genius (I believe that because rsync is fantastic. He invented that). I trust in him knowing what he's doing. We should give him a hand if we want it to be better.

I believe serious one is openrsync, the openbsd fork that does NOT have vibe-coding.

You mean like near every program?

Unfiltered river water might be a better comparison. It's not intentionally poisoned, but you might not want to drink it if you don't have to.

Vibe coded software is closer to "unfiltered water collected from public toilet bowls" than "unfiltered water". We KNOW it's almost guaranteed to be unsanitary!
