WebKit is vibe coded now.

@kubukoz ‚agents‘

@softmaus that's what Claude and co are called

@kubukoz that’s exactly what an agentic overlord would suggest you to answer!

@lapcatsoftware Dammit, nooo

@lapcatsoftware @tk yeah let's head back to firefox or one of its forks, so code isn't ai ge…

oh

https://github.com/mozilla-firefox/firefox/blob/main/AGENTS.md

@kubukoz @softmaus and I’m putting this agentic overlord on my block list

@lapcatsoftware @rcarmo this is exactly what someone working at #Microslop would reply. Oh, wait…

Plonk.

@n1k0 @lapcatsoftware je n’arrive déjà pas à faire tenir mes notes sur mozilla/firefox dans une longueur raisonnable

@lapcatsoftware you should assume that every corporate backed piece of software is vibe coded.

@softmaus sigh... where has nuance gone?

@kubukoz it’s buried under a huge pile of slop, I‘m afraid

@lapcatsoftware Anthropic now owns Bun, which is a significant contributor to WebKit/JSC. At least this is making those files ignored rather than checking them in for all contributors.

@lapcatsoftware this is adding ignores for the slop machines. Which personally I won't touch at all, not even with a ten foot pole.

I work mainly on non-Apple ports, but I am confident everybody working on WebKit cares very much about security. To see the kind of engineering that goes into making a huge C++ code base safer, I strongly recommend watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLw13wLM5Ko

@lapcatsoftware @Viss looks like they're also using three different "AI” coding agents O_O

@kubukoz @lapcatsoftware How so? It is generating code upon request. Very much fits the bill, doesn't it?

@kubukoz @lapcatsoftware oh, but it is.
