They pretty much said this. All the big companies that had recent outages are companies that publicly embraced vibe coding.

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.

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

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.
