    The Whitehouse learned about vibecoding. See this and arcade.gov.

    Also, what?? <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;america.gov&#x2F;privacy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;america.gov&#x2F;privacy

    At least realfood.gov was decent [1].

    Shouldn&#x27;t the government websites work on very slow internet connections?

    Where&#x27;s the source code for these websites? First of all, if they are vibe coded by government employees they have to be open source, and secondly, if they are vibe coded (even by a contractor), then they can&#x27;t be copyrighted.
