Vibe Coding Is Over

For a brief, chaotic, almost beautiful moment, it felt like the rules had changed. Describe your idea to an AI, hammer F5 until something loads, push to production — repeat.

Amazon AI Outage Raises Concerns Over Automation Risks in AWS Cloud Infrastructure

Amazon’s push toward AI-driven efficiency has come under scrutiny after reports that an internal outage at Amazon Web Services was triggered by one of its own AI agents.
