Flutterby™! : Vibe coding

for contrast:

Simon Willison — Not all AI-assisted programming is vibe coding (but vibe coding rocks)

Pivot To AI — ‘Guys, I’m under attack’ — AI ‘vibe coding’ in the wild

Bonus! Dre DeVault: Please stop externalizing your costs directly into my face

We are experiencing dozens of brief outages per week, and I have to review our mitigations several times per day to keep that number from getting any higher. When I do have time to work on something else, often I have to drop it when all of our alarms go off because our current set of mitigations stopped working. Several high-priority tasks at SourceHut have been delayed weeks or even months because we keep being interrupted to deal with these bots, and many users have been negatively affected because our mitigations can’t always reliably distinguish users from bots.
