Exactly but generative AI has exacerbated the problem

What is new is the scale of the problem being created as lightning-speed code generators spew reams of unread code into millions of projects

If Releases Are Experiments, What’s Your Hypothesis? by codeinabox in c/programming@programming.dev

[-] codeinabox@programming.dev 3 points 3 days ago

My understanding is that an example of a hypothesis, is that users want a feature. The experiment is putting that feature in front of users, or performing user research, which which then allows you to validate if a hypothesis is true or not.

AI company Vercel loses hundreds of developers after CEO posts about meeting with Netanyahu (www.instagram.com)

Vercel, a cloud platform for web apps, had hundreds of developers migrate off its platform overnight after CEO Guillermo Rauch posted a photo with Israeli PM Netanyahu on Sept 29, 2025, praising their discussions on AI and expressing optimism for Israel.

“Enjoyed my discussion with PM Netanyahu on how AI education and literacy will keep our free societies ahead,” Rauch wrote, while expressing hope for “peace, safety, and greatness for Israel and its neighbors.”

The post quickly racked up nearly five million views. Shortly after, a pattern emerged in online forums and private engineering groups: hundreds of developers were leaving Vercel. Not loudly, not with open letters or coordinated campaigns, but by doing the gritty technical work—reconfiguring deployments, moving DNS records, rewriting files line by line.
