I've seen rewrites at startups that were slower and less stable than what we had before and everyone cheered it on like clapping seals. This stuff is rife no matter the size of the company.
At least at large orgs there's hopefully someone able to measure it. The smaller you go it's silos all the way down.
I've been freelancing for over a decade. This stuff is every third crypto related job. They're all malware repos running scripts the moment you turn on vscode hoovering up everything they can on your computer.
It's the least surprising thing once you've put yourself out there, very strange watching people here think it's novel, I expect it by default at this point, a stranger handing you code needs to go into a vm, would you let them hand you some candy with a wink too?
You can vibecode docs and tests also but I'm truly not seeing more of those.
In the end it can just be a culture thing. A dev who was going to write docs and tests before is going to have a LLM generate docs and tests today. Same with safe practices and defensive coding. The machine does whatever you want from it, for most that's "just get the job done I don't care". So that's the output.
Costs me 15 cents per washer delivered, why bother risk it? The world doesn't need more cancerous used motor oil on the ground.
After downloading a service manual and doing many things myself it became very apparent that mechanics barely bother to do work the right way despite it coming at virtually zero extra effort.
It's quite rare to see them use a torque wrench on many bolts and if you ask them why "they know it by feel", cool, but why not use a torque wrench to the proper specs anyway? It's not any harder.
Why shouldn't they? You're commenting on a website where the common if not overwhelming view is that people should move jobs every 2 years or they are going to lose out.
> I'm not sure there is enough to conclude this definitely is insider trading. Markets are weird.
This was 6-8x the size all the existing trades on market combined, with zero other publicly available information early on a Monday morning 15 mins before an announcement that significantly moved the market.
Not even the biggest hedge funds in the world with coked up yolo traders go make 1.5 billion dollar bets like that, it simply doesn't happen.
It's egregious and blatant insider trading. The position got closed not long after the news came out.
At least at large orgs there's hopefully someone able to measure it. The smaller you go it's silos all the way down.
