    Misleading title, there's another major reason: it's an embargo agreement violation that jeopardizes Linux support on PS5.

      Nothing misleading about the title and you are splitting hairs.

        Omitting half of the story is misleading, this isn&#x27;t a pro&#x2F;anti LLM story.

        Vibecoding has been the norm for months, it&#x27;s the embargo violation today that triggered his resignation.

          &gt; …been the norm for months…

          You know, it’s petty, but I think one of the things I hate the most about AI is that it surpassed front end JavaScript frameworks in terms of changing what the standard is every few years.

          What’s the point of learning anything if it becomes obsolete faster than the seasons change?

            Just so you know, the frontend framework wars started and ended pretty quickly in the latter half of the 2010s.

            It was the downstream effect of the browser wars settling down and W3C making big moves on getting vendors to finally implement standards that were sorely needed. It had nothing to do with web dev culture.

              &gt; It had nothing to do with web dev culture.

              It may not have been started because of web dev culture, but it definitely influenced web dev culture.

                Are you a web developer?

                  I was before the market crunched.

                  What&#x27;s the reason for the credential check?

                    For a topic that &quot;definitely influenced web dev culture&quot;, you didn&#x27;t have much to say as a web dev.
