> And just like that—surprise!—one AI company bails out another AI company's grift.

This is obvious as Google is also an investor in SpaceX (and Anthropic) but this time Google is directly involved and can afford to fund them both.

The losers are the employees being laid off with their salaries and RSUs being used to fund the data centers.

If this was a bank that had zero humans and the AI chatbot was abused to hand over sensitive information about their customers which led to this disaster, people would never trust their bank ever again and leave.

Meta believes that they can vibe-code their reputation down the drain by removing humans in the loop.

Applying a technical solution to a social problem almost always ends in disasters like this.

Reputation can’t be vibe-coded.

Meta's brand is already toxic. Idk if there's much to lose there.

Buying more. The vibe here is getting close to 2021

AI is great for prototyping, but that is far different to AI in production-grade software, including with the hidden cost of maintenance. You have to know what you are doing.

Why even risk using AI directly in mission critical high risk software powering cars, planes and financial transactions or control systems with no human oversight?

If a disaster happened and an investigation was launched and the inquiry found that the software was "vibe coded" and no-one understood the code, would that look great towards the software vendor's reputation?

> There is a notion floating around that DSA interview questions are quickly becoming obsolete, since you can just ask an LLM for an optimal solution now.

They are obsolete for remote jobs which if the interview is done fully remotely, it can then be gamed/cheated easily.

There will still be Leetcode interviews. But this time, they are in-person and on site. So:

> do you think leetcode style interviews are going the way of the dinosaur, or will they stay or even have a resurgence?

They will stay and be even more important. Companies still ask them but in person.

Companies like Anthropic do not allow you to use LLMs in their interviews. Expect many companies to do the same.

So they lasted 9 days [0] until another incident and this time they deleted subscriptions for Slack and MS Teams?

GitHub's reputation has been long overcooked and you are better off self-hosting and you would have better up time than GitHub.

These companies are not your partners. Why now and not 3 years ago?

They now want to lock you out after they have IPO'd.

No.

Two common key points about engineering is understanding and responsibility when issues happen. Knowing what to change and why and diagnosing the problem and confidently fixing it when the system goes wrong.

Anyone can play Microsoft Flight simulator.

Does that mean everyone is a qualified captain to fly a commercial plane full of passengers?

Just look at the descriptive commit messages. /s

Tells you that most here just read the headline and not the code or commits any-more and this will just become abandonware.

Active development -- PR just came in from luispa. Happy to review contributions.

Reason: "We need as much exit liquidity as possible."

We were past that phase a decade ago.

It is now in the extinguish phase (Of other competitors) and no need to install Linux distros.
