"Pissing in the soup" doesn't really work here unless you're adulterating the software with something malicious.
This was in response to rsync having horrible new bugs from vibe coding that were so bad that people thought they had malware. Does the intent matter when the end result is the same?
Holy crap I thought rsync is a super serious and professional program. Didn't thought they ruin it with vibecodeing.
A lot of important infra depends rsync.
You mean like near every program?
Funny, that nearly tracks for the US, except it'd need to feed said homeless first. So far, it's just pissing on us poors. No soup.
Obligatory "No soup for you!"
I'd give up soup of the piss'd stop raining, flooding, rotting everything we're each trying to work on. ✊🏼
Tell you what that Rsync thread is just a goldmine.
While I'm generally not one to complain about something I'm getting for free, and I do understand the dev wanting to make more efficient use of their time...
I don't think people are wrong here expressing their annoyance at what was previously feature complete and stable software being vibe-code updated into a buggy mess.
... And that's without mentioning the ethical and security issues posed by vibe-coded software.
…Regardless of the code assistant, I’m not seeing any cause for alarm in my personal usage, yet. Feature requests and issues are getting closed, even urgent security ones that shouldn’t have been posted in that manner:
https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/issues/871
https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/issues/882
Seems like business as usual:

One thing I will say on rsync is that regressions aren't new with it. It does something hard: it has to deal with symlinks. Releases have often had regressions for a long time, especially for security fixes, and it long predates LLMs, because symlinks are hard. Of course seeing a gazillion Claude commits still makes me uncomfortable, but it's important to see what's new as well.
But if the chef wants oranges in the pea soup, and you don't like that, it's fair to say go to another soup kitchen.
Except that his idea of oranges is piss.
If it's about AI slop pull requests, it's more akin to a microwaved orange tbf.
Mmm warm orange juice and toothpaste!
