7 days is long enough for work to leave the context window, hence…
They are mass copying any idea they see out there. They are not happy enough being a platform, they want to be everything. Their dream is to be the one AI that eats it all. It's so stupid that folks are using their system. I will never get on board with a platform that competes with me or try to compete with me. They are the Microsoft of AI model providers.
Clearly they have a weekly automation to take the backlog of feature requests and build a new feature!
That's a fairly decent defintion of vibecoding across multiple sessions.
Just wait for the new wave of github issues about things they silently broke or degraded.
Progress, I guess :)
(I had the most hilariously bad session with Sonnet 4.6 today. I asked it a reasonably simple question and linked to resources, it refused to fetch the resources, didn't ask for pdf/txt I could provide, and confidently printed absolute BS, barely in the same category but completely unrelated.
I called it off pointing the idiocy, asked if it wants more data, and requested the hallucination be fixed.
It apologised profusely and hallucinated even worse.
Maybe I'll try Opus 4.6 tomorrow because frankly Gemma-4-E4B was more coherent than that....
And or things I’ve spent a bunch of time building already. And naming them the same. I should have trademarked “dispatch”!

Oh uh... ok then.
Just wait until they get into the phase where they're big enough that they're eating all the baby startups and have to pick winners and losers amongst the myriad of overlapping features while also having the previous baby startups they acquired crank out new features.
We're watching a speed run of growthism, folks.
So management can cancel all of last week’s projects when they told us all we had to be using skills because the CEO read about them in the in flight magazine. Routines are the future, baby. DevOps already made a big announcement that they’re centralizing the Routines Hub. If you can’t keep up, we’ll get someone who says they can.
