Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

@antifuchs @techtakes Oh goodie they enshittified vim IS NOTHING SACRED?!? HAVE WE LIVED AND FOUGHT IN VAIN?!?!?
It looks more like they used an LLM (Copilot) to construct programs using the new features in the language.
So more "hop on the bandwagon using LLMs to advertise" rather than "we used LLMs to develop"
OTOH "these new features are so advanced you need AI to use them" is a bit of a weird sell
it has to be said, a runtime CVE in vim would be pretty embarrassing
