pretty sure not the Ruby "Why" but I don't know for sure
@cwebber Thank you Christine!

pretty sure not the Ruby "Why" but I don't know for sure
@cwebber @ryanrandall My memory is that why_ said goodbye and disappeared one day and so we can’t know for sure but it’s unlikely (and if they are the same person, well, they don’t want to be connected)
-
Atproto is centralized because every dev there seems to rely unhealthy on claude
-
I mean when I check my feed much of the Bluesky eng team seems to be posting about how great Claude is all the time so I have been background wondering how common vibecoding is in that ecosystem
@cwebber all of the "ethical" startup types are doing it -
@cwebber Earnest and also deeply befuddled question:
Do you happen to know if this "Why" is the same "Why" who wrote "Why's? (Poignant) Guide to Ruby"?
(Seems very unlikely to be the same person—but I'm so out of the loop that this name confusion also feels like when people are excitedly talking about the Swedish metal band "Ghost" but I mistakenly think they're excitedly talking about the Japanese experimental psych-folk band "Ghost".)
@ryanrandall I honestly thought I was the only person on earth going through that specific Ghost/Ghost confusion

FastI have this suspicion that the ATproto stack, at least the stuff from Bluesky, is heading towards "majority-vibecoded" but that's mostly just from seeing a lot of posts from the Bluesky eng team rather than me having spent much time in the codebase
Why is def hugely responsible for Bluesky/ATProto's design and if *he's* mostly letting Claude write 99% of his code, the rest of the eng team is likely to be heading in that direction too?

@andymoose @cwebber @kkarhan@infosec.space why is also a literal neoreactionary, so fashtech keeps being up to the expected quality

@cwebber He's the same dev who said it was impossible to prevent users from putting racial slurs in their handles.

@cwebber they're owned by crypto cultists, so it tracks.

@cwebber lol this reads like kai lentit "senior engineer tries vibe coding" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2C2CNmK7dQ

@cwebber Over in ATProto-world, I'm not even seeing most people's profile pictures. They're just showing up as the default icon.

@erincandescent @ryanrandall @cwebber its not the same Why. They both have photos of their real face on the internet I checked.

@cwebber before* any judgement on whethe it is a good thing or not, it was expected, tbh. it is very much on brand from their team.
they always had the "tech enthusiast" ethos*just before.

@davidgerard @andymoose @cwebber it's always a reasonably safe bet to assume that outspoken LLM proponents have some fash tendencies, even the ones that pretend to be lefties

@cwebber wait wait, the stylng system is called
ALF?Is that because of the legendary Alf Hog Incident? It has to be, right?

@ryanrandall https://github.com/whyrusleeping
pretty sure not the Ruby "Why" but I don't know for sure
@cwebber @ryanrandall Nah, definitely a different Why - you can find the Ruby Why's real name and the Bluesky Why's name also appears from time to time and it's not the same name
