like there's a bunch of faff in here about security issues (and sure, fair enough, the context here *is* wired's "security" column) and quality problems, but there is a much darker interpretation of what's happening

bluntly, POSIWID: "open source" is a social system for corporations to externalize infrastructure costs, and, materially, not much else. there are of course principles involved and possible future benefits, but *today*, that's mostly what is going on in the "community"

corporations have been reluctant to "give back" because while it can produce good press, if you start "giving back" to the "community" too much, then the cost savings you got from externalizing your complement starts to erode; if you're going to give money to some tech, might as well own it

but the scary part of this article is the bit where vibe coding *reads* to corporate interests as an alternative to open source, in that you can externalize your infrastructure development and maintenance costs onto OpenAI's VC investors instead. slightly higher overhead per developer, but no need to deal with pesky human beings who might start to agitate for more resources, so the reduction in hassle is worth the cost

it doesn't actually work; a vibe-coded framework is never going to help structure your systems anywhere near as well as one that is the result of human judgement and discernment, even one with a hefty pile of legacy junk associated with it. but management is not going to be able to see this; structurally, managers see the benefits and have a much harder time measuring or even perceiving the costs

this is why there is no such thing as "vibe engineering" and it is farcical to imagine a world where it even could exist. even with all the responsible code review and QA and cross-checking (which is like, literally impossible, given the amount of vigilance fatigue that AI systems provoke, and the metrics we have so far all bear that out), the long-term maintenance cost of a workslop infrastructure is going to be *devastating*

the biggest problem we *already have* in open source right now, which we have oversimplified into the term "supply chain security", is the lack of understanding that putting a dependency in your project's dependency set (package.json, pyproject.toml, requirements.txt, cargo.toml, etc) is not just "downloading some code", it is *establishing an ongoing trust relationship with a set of human beings*. this fact is *way* too obscured in all the tools we use.

@ilsimoneviaggiatore tra l'altro la possibilità di scegliere LO rispetto a MSO non è una questione che può valutare né il CEO né il CTO, ma un progetto di change management che deve coinvolgere, direzione, sistemi informativi E personale, e possibilmente con l'ausilio di una valida consulenza esterna. Altrimenti succede un bordello tale da restare per anni nelle cronache dell'orrore

Microsoft ha snobbato Windows per arrivare prima su Cloud e IA?
Microsoft ha preso Windows, la scelta rassicurante per chiunque, e lo ha trascinato dentro una piattaforma sempre più straripante di robaccia AI per via di decisioni calate dall’alto e aggiornamenti che sminchiano.
I talenti e l'attenzione sono in effetti su cloud e intelligenza artificiale.
Ecco perché, mettere in secondo piano il sistema operativo che regge l’infrastruttura mondiale, costringe gli utenti ad aggrapparsi a versioni vecchie invece di passare a quelle brutte nuove.

Da amministratore di sistema, confermo (non che ce ne fosse bisogno). Aggiungo anche un'altra cosa: se l'azienda decide che che ci vuole M$ Office e non LibreOffice (come nel mio caso), per quanto a me stia sulle balle la roba Microsoft, la devo usare. Mi pagano per fare quello che vuole la direzione, non quello che voglio io (purtroppo).
Da noi è bloccato tutto, tranne quello che distribuisco io. Se poi c'è un'esigenza specifica se ne può parlare, ma come eccezione: le installazioni in autonomia non sono consentite.
