Why would experienced devs join a vibe-coded project that barely works to overhaul it? Most of the time it’d be quicker and easier to start a new project from scratch with the same goals but coded competently.
You’re bending over backwards just to come up with a plausible-sounding excuse for vibe-coding. But unfortunately, “plausible-sounding” isn’t the same as “plausible”.
Vibe coding might be “good enough” for a tiny private project for someone who doesn’t know how to code and isn’t interested in learning. But LLM’s aren’t good enough to build usable architectures.
And all publicly available human-created code was already trawled years ago, and the creation of more is slow. LLM’s can’t get significantly better at coding by just throwing more data into their training because there is no more data left that isn’t already in the training.

And how is it supposed to get less shit if it’s vibe coded? The programmer didn’t learn anything when making the initial build

It’s like the difference bewteen publicly-traded and privately-owned companies. Publicly-traded companies are guaranteed to enshittify due to fiduciary duty. Privately-owned companies could enshittify, but it’s not guaranteed

It seems like more than half of these are TTRPG’s, fyi.

They’ve already stated that they aren’t going to sell the hardware at a loss. This is because they want the hardware business to be sustainable.
Meanwhile Meta is selling their headsets at a steep loss because they’re making it back by selling all of your data that they collect with it.

but it was very obvious from the ending that it was axed waaay before the author intended.
The author is the same as Hunter’s Guild: Red Hood, which had the same kind of rushed ending. There’s the saying “2 times is coincidence, 3 is a pattern”.
Regardless, I’m starting to wonder if the series aren’t getting axed early and instead the author just gets bored with an idea after a few dozen chapters and tries to wrap things up quick to move onto the next project. I don’t have proof, and it’s only been 2 instances so far, but it’s seeming like a potential explanation
- Comment on Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead 2 weeks ago:
It’s the crux of the law suit
The plaintiffs making the claim doesn’t make it fact like you’re suggesting. The entire lawsuit is hinging on a single email from years ago. That’s not steady ground.
This is doubly true when you actually look at prices on other storefronts. How was EGS able to have lower prices or even give games away for free when said games were/are available on Steam at the same time?

Choosing not to release on Steam isn’t easy because it’s not a balanced market, at all.
It’s not Steam’s fault that the majority of the competition sucks ass.
but they take a ludicrous portion of game revenue.
It’s a standard cut for online storefronts, even today. And they even reduce their once game sales hit certain mile stones. It gets down to around 20%. The only reason anyone talks about it is because Tim Swiney harps on it nonstop because he wants to be the one with the monopoly

If you truly think that, then you go do your own survey about it. The one in the article is fairly clear on it’s results.
Not everyone uses AI for work. Me and my coworker do a lot of coding and neither of us touch AI at all. Hell, I get mad whenever DuckDuckGo pushes their stupid default AI summary in my face

There’s a manga called ‘Meccha Shoukan Sareta Ken’ (Overpowered, Oversummoned, and Over It! in English) that kinda does that, at least at the start. But instead of committing suicide the MC keeps getting transported away from whatever world he ends up in to the starter god, with a new ability from each world
