Just because someone is on an H1B visa doesn't mean they know less. It's a bit rich to blame this on foreign workers even though nothing is known about who or what caused this outage.

In the 80s, a "series" of fires broke out and destroyed many homes and businesses in England, all of which having a print of a painting known as 'The Crying Boy'. The painting has ever since been rumoured to be haunted.

Obviously, 'The Crying Boy' was not the cause of the fires, it was just that most homes in the 80s England had those prints, as it was a popular one, and people found a pattern where there wasn't one.

All the big companies embraced vibe coding, so I’m not sure there was a natural experiment here.

causality, causation, yadda yadda. They already explained that it was some react server component update. sure, could've also been done with some ai assist but we don't know.

These companies also don't vibe code (which would involve just prompting without editing code yourself, at least that's the most common definition).

I really hope news like these won't be followed by comments like these (not criticism of you personally) until the AI hype dies down a bit. It's getting really tiresome to always read the same oversimplified takes every time there's some outage involving centralized entities such as cloudflare instead of talking about the elephant in the room, which is their attempt of doing MITM on the majority of internet users.

This ignores all the companies that publicly embraced vibe coding and did NOT have outages. Not a huge fan of vibe coding, but let's keep the populism to minimum here.
