They also don't understand software.

Or user privacy.

Or valuing their own workers.

Or how to respectfully be a part of the F/OSS ecosystem.

Or humanity's desire to not live in a pollution stream from their AI processing centers (they're not really "data centers").

Or that we all wish LinkedIn would self-destruct under the weight of its own bullshit, and magically blink itself out of existence.

I can't imagine a company founded on its operating system, now deciding vibe coding that flagship product is a good idea... Especially vibe coding literally all of their software products... Dumb as shit.

Also everything they make is now a web browser shell with the app running inside which makes everything slow and memory hungry.
