Man claims without evidence to have reinvented (at least) 45-year-old technology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-1) to much fanfare. For some reason. Worked out great for Colombia. I'm pretty sure the Inconel they made the orbiters out of is a bit higher quality than the stainless steel sheet metal they're using. 🤷‍♂️

@RomanOnARiver@mastodon.social is it that you don't see the distinction, or is it that you don't believe it to be meaningful? If truly the former, pretend it's OSS with no AI at all where one maintainer actually reviews and spots bugs in PRs vs. one who just rubber stamps and merges anything. (To be clear, the only reason I replied here is because your toot was in the form of a question. FWIW I would describe my day job as mostly vibe coding these days; before AI most vcpkg PRs were a rubber stamp)

@RomanOnARiver@mastodon.social I would argue "vibe code" traditionally means not only using AI to write the code but also not reading it or having any specific understanding of the details of its function, so accusing someone of "vibe coding" additionally implies that they didn't even review it.

Replying to @pinskia@hachyderm.io

@pinskia@hachyderm.io Everyone has a different opinion about how many spaces to draw for a tab. Which is why tooling should just pass through the \t and let the user's configuration do what they want with it. FWIW I am of the 4 spaces per tab religion rather than 8 but I fully understand the religion that it is

@chandlerc@hachyderm.io (I'm looking at you GCC and your recent converting tabs to spaces in console output assuming that everyone follows GNU indentation conventions rather than just emitting the \t and letting the user's terminal/editor do what they configure it to do)

Replying to @horenmar@mastodon.social

@horenmar@mastodon.social Unfortunately there is no one perfect thing; even as a package manager manager I understand that just copying the bits can be a lot easier for folks because you don't need to mesh into every downstream ecosystem for dependencies. This is why vcpkg explicitly does not have its own bindings mechanism and expects builds to produce the same kind of pkgconfig or cmake configs that they would have produced for apt et al.
