It's spreading and only going to get worse.

Management thinks AI tools should make everyone 10x as productive, so they're all trying to run lean teams and load up the remaining engineers with all the work. This will end about as well as the great offshoring of the early 2000s.

there was also a post here where an engineer was parading around a vibe-coded oauth library he'd made as a demonstration of how great LLMs were

at which point the CVEs started to fly in

Matrix doesn't actually define how one should do authentication though... every homeserver software is free to implement it however they want.

Thats a classic claude move, even the new sonnet 4.6 still does this.

Thats actively malicious. I understand not going out of your way to catch the LLMs' bugs so as to show the folly of the initiative, but actively sabotaging it is legitimately dangerous behavior. Its acting in bad faith. And i say this as someone who would mostly oppose such an initiative myself

I would go so far as to say that you shouldnt be employed in the industry. Malicious actors like you will contribute to an erosion of trust thatll make everything worse

That's extremely unethical. You're being paid to do something and you deliberately broke it which not only cost your employer additional time and money, but it also cost your customers time and money. If I were you, I'd probably just quit and find another profession.

I see someone is not familiar with the joys of the current job market.

That's not "sabotaged", that's sabotaged, if you intentionally introduced the bugs. Be very careful admitting something like that publicly unless you're absolutely completely sure nobody could map your HN username to your real identity.
