I use an agent at work, and it added a little animated icon for me to a page. Seemed just fine. My colleague removed it a week later because he found it was causing a huge performance lag on some of the pages he maintains.

The Codex TUI has a similar bug where a useless animation costs way too many resources, but it’s definitely a different area of code. It was originally redrawing the entire TUI screen every 32ms. That one has a Codex-created fix, but user PR’s aren’t considered anymore. It was originally memory leaking 20GB (!) over 2-3 days
Was the animation vibe coded by any chance?
Not vibecoded, completely vibed:
while(working) { chatgpt.prompt("Please generate an image similar to the current spinner image, but rotated a slight bit more to the right."); }Their fix will probably be, adding “Give a quick answer, don’t think too hard” to the prompt.
“don’t make mistakes”
do NOT make mistakes
