the year of betrayal continues: https://lobste.rs/s/h0eate/updates_site_guidelines_ai_llm_tags

admittedly I have been expecting this for a while, but lobsters just removed the vibecoding tag, which formerly allowed you to filter slop stories out of your front page

this was the one thing that was keeping that site tolerable to use in the deluge of crap

hate to cede this to the celery men but I don't really see myself continuing to use that site now that the mods are showing their true colors

the site had its problems, but the lobsters IRC channel on libera chat has up till now been quite good, and I'll be sad to say goodbye

> While `vibecoding` is no longer an active tag, we still feel that a subset of the tooling related discussions are relevant to the site. While this is reaching far back into the annals of computing history, tools like compilers, databases, testing, and vcs had similar points of consternation and concern when they were introduced. I'm not going to claim that I'm able to guess how the industry is going to shape up, but my gut feeling is that but my gut feeling is that it's going to be closer to something like we've seen with systemd than compilers. This new tag `ai-tooling` covers "The design, ux, development of AI/LLM-powered tools themselves".

Seriously? Compared it to compilers, seriously?
