    P.S. Anthropic’s C compiler and Cursor’s FastRender web browser haven’t had any commits for months.

    That’s a interesting catch. Did the agents lose interest? Definitely a speedup on the abandonment pipeline.

    My guess:

    All testcases are passing, all verifications say everthing is ported correctly, only problem is that nothing works.

    They will need to spend a year manually debugging before they can release something in alpha quality .

            Maybe, but you’d be surprised how many shitty, low paying shops exist out there that pull stupid shit.

            A few of my graduates went to one locally where they did not have a single version control system setup. Granted this was about 10 years ago but 2016 was still in an era where they should have known better.

            You had a fuckton of newbies and non-coders who schmoozed into positions basically live editing prod.

      It can’t be quite that bad; they’ve been shipping the rust version of Bun with Claude Code since v2.1.181 (released June 18th), and I haven’t seen an outcry over all related functionality breaking
