Seems like a really fun tool for a play by post type game.
sometimes the bird just dies
Isn't this how one of the subplots of Daggerfall started?
AI (Avian Intelligence). Nobody truly knows how it works.
Author says on reddit that it's vibe coded. Boo.
So... he vibe coded it, hit a bug he couldn't fix, and said, fuck it, it's a feature.
Hit a bug The AI couldn't fix
Yes, because this is critical production code that is clearly too important to not go through stringent review.
What if it becomes the next twitter?
Anything worth doing is worth reviewing.
It even specifically requires GPS location unlike other messengers. Boo.
Should’ve just used IP location so users could simply pick different VPN servers to simulate either a quick flap across town or a brutal multi-week transcontinental migratory path
It could have at least been a fun learning experience for the developer, but instead they just wrote some text and let the computer program it.
It's absolutely possible to learn a lot while using an AI coding assistant; it can be like having a patient and supportive Stack Overflow instead of one that just closes all your questions as duplicates. That does require using it intentionally though.
That's not what vibecoding is. Vibecoding is literally what I said and not just it being an assistant.

That's a hell of a pigeon that can fly at 192mph
Oh they're actually flying coach. 192 is just the average, it takes time to get through the airport.
Supersonic feathertr0nic?
I imagine they all fly in to deliver 26 poops and a responding text that just says, "k"
💩
I love this idea. We need more whimsical technology.
I’ve been using it to talk to my brother for the past few weeks, and it’s super fun! I really enjoy imagining a bird flying hundreds of miles to deliver my very important meme
Can't get away from packet loss
