Seems I was mistaken. My previous statement was based on what others have said, but I haven't actually run the tests myself. In any case, I have learned not to rely on statements made by the accused in this type of dispute.
Yes, there's been several regressions that would've been caught by the original tests, but missed by the new vibe-coded tests. That's what prompted the blog post linked by OP.
The whole rsync repo is 65k lines total. Recent AI-centric changes account for +16k/-6k, including massive changes to the unit tests. Somehow that's not even considered a "minor" update (v3.4.1 to v3.4.3).
That's not responsible use of AI, that's malpractice.
Jokes aside, I have been blocked many times by overzealous email validation. Yes, my email has a plus sign in it. This is allowed under RFC5322, so deal with it. It is better to have no validation at all than incorrect validation.
The sign in the right says "bees", but the picture shows a creature with eight legs, two body segments, and no wings. That's no bee, that's a spider!
ManifestV3 is 100% driven by Google enshittification. Down with Chrome. Long live Firefox.
AOC for President.
I saw that happen once in a big presentation.
There was a team of students presenting their work to ~200 people. Right in the middle, a pop-up says updates are finished and the computer needs to restart. It has a helpful 60-second countdown, but "cancel" is grayed out, so all they can do is watch.
I was only in the audience and I still have nightmares.
This isn't funny, this is just the sad state of software these days.
Finally, OJ can rest knowing his wife’s killer is dead.
My head canon is that Tony Stark has a superpower: everything he builds works the first time.
If it's really complicated, like an entirely new Iron Man suit, then it might malfunction once in an amusing way. Then he tightens a screw and it's perfect. It never fails outright or bricks itself.
In my experience, this is not how hardware or software development goes. I want this power so much.

I am the primary author of an open-source framework for Ethernet in embedded systems. There is not a single line of fucking AI slop in that repo, because I am not an irresponsible hack.
