Guy holding the pray-and-spray button down on his coding environment complains loudly that the predictable happened:

(The whole incident, in short, appears to be a social media storm in a vibe-coded teacup and Lemkin’s blithe acceptance of the LLM’s statement that it cannot rollback perhaps indicative of a failure to rtfm..)

[Replit’s CEO Amjad] Masad added, referring to a gripe from users, including Remkin, that the AI assistant ignores ‘code freeze’ requests: “We heard the ‘code freeze’ pain loud and clear – we’re actively working on a planning/chat-only mode so you can strategize without risking your codebase…”

Cool vibe. Way to get attention.

Shoot yourself in the foot and say automatic weapons are only going to get better.

Lemkin later posted: “All these tools are constantly getting better. Cursor + Windsurf … Replit … vibe version in 9 months old. Loveable is just as young. … “It’s gonna be awesome.”

Or it’s going to get much much worse.

One of the notable things about WWI is how novel technology automation led to millions of deaths faster than anyone had anticipated, with early adopters running to the front lines thinking it’s “gonna be awesome”.
