OK this has hit the chattering technosphere Lobste.rs - some bad takes on legal theory lobste.rs/s/brusu8/protestware_for_coding_agents HN - submission from Ars Technica, original title “Fed up with vibe coders, dev sneaks data-nuking prompt injection into their code”, editorialized to “Undisclosed addition in jqwik instructed AI coding agents to delete app output” - news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48319968 read comments at your own risk My hot take: the clankers know there’s nothing legally they can do about this, and that they will actually have to read release notes going forward and doing actual work to avoid getting their precious vibecoding junked, and they’re MAD
