@jschauma@mstdn.social What the hell. I know what "verschlimmbessern" actually means but out of habit I hit the translate function for the post and it spit out:
> The English language does not know "vibe coding", which is why it says "vibe coding" instead.
That's... next level.
Is there some kind of SEO hack going around that I have missed?

@jochie@strangeweb.page @jschauma@mstdn.social interesting, probably an artifact of NN-based translation? The meanings are close enough, and from context it looks like one is a real translation of the other

@jochie@strangeweb.page @jschauma@mstdn.social IPhone translation seems… at best confused. In tusker, I get the same ‘whole-post’ translation as you do. (“Vibe coding”) But get a very different experience if translating a selection from each. (Attachments with alt text. Context: as a non-speaker, I’m likely missing something obvious about why this doesn’t translate well.) HT @jpmens@mastodon.social for the boost.
