    No, they blogged it.. But it is a literal summary of what they wrote in that blog.

    Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher that’s way faster and more responsive than the current one, and has a new look.

    And then they showed the figures for their new launcher compared to Steams.

      Oh my god that is an actual quote, the very first line on their blog post.

      The marketing team didn’t get the memo that “vibe coding” is not a positive thing.

        Marketing team? I think you mean “Gemini, write a short press release that makes our AI generated launcher look better than Steam”.

      Programming is hard

      Weird flex for a company that is supposedly taking money for programming. Interesting strategy to admit you are completely incompetent, rather than merely lazy.

      What the actual fuck 🤣 Are we kidding right now? This blog post reads like an APRIL FOOLS JOKE, what is going on?!

      In fact, the whole post reads like it was vibed out of a computer asshole as well.

        Given that they didn’t want to spend time developing good software, why’d we expect them to spend time writing tweets? That’s to say, the tweets are probably vibed out of a computer arsehole as well.

        You now accurately understand how fucking stupid almost all tech* CEOs and Department Heads actually are.

        *well actually any kind of CEO or senior management that bought into the “AI is magic! We don’t have to manage people or workflows anymore!” flavor of AI psychosis.

        These people are largely incompetent buffoons with huge egos, who hate doing actual work, but must live a life like a baron of a medieval dominion, to sate their crushing need to feel special.

          It’s just so wild to admit that “we vibed it”. That feels so unprofessional, wtf.

            It is unprofessional.

            These clowns only know how to act at ‘professional’, not actually be it. They are craven, the only thing that matters to them is power.

            These are the same kind of people as in the Epstein files. We can see their casual flippance, their plotting, their neuroses, their goddamned constant spelling errors.

            They’re just fucked up idiots that people do not say “No” to!
