They don't have to tell us they are vibe coding everything.

- there are now ridiculous vibe coded localisation in VS2026

- task manager started to not report cpu usage correctly recently (the number becomes stalled)

- file explorer display the "loading" icon infinitely on some directories

- and many other things!

> file explorer display the "loading" icon infinitely on some directories

Nautilus had that feature 10 years ago, good to hear they've reached parity.


I love Nautilus, but the one I run (42.6) still has that ocasionally. May be fixed in latest stable by now though.

The line between vibe coding and just coding has now moved. Vibe coding is specifically when the output is not understood by the prompter. Even in the back in the days of the earlier models i used the models to do my basic typing because it was easier than me typing it out…

Your reply misunderstands the parent comment, I think. MS devs clearly don't understand their output given how garbage it is.

We’re not allowed to understand it. Gotta hit your PR quota to keep your job. I wish I was joking.

That just sounds like normal Microsoft software to me, since way before vibe coding.

Random infinite loading in Explorer has been there for years at least.

While I partially agree, it seems to have paid out, including among several key projects that Web development nowadays cannot live without.

Even if they wouldn't be vibecoding. They were able to write slop before AI
