What the Hell Is Going On?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-08 10:08:01

What the hell is going on right now? Engineers are burning out. Orgs expect their senior engineering staff to be able to review and contribute to “vibe-coded” features that don’t work. My personal observation is that the best engineers are highly enthusiastic about helping newer team members contribute and learn. Instead of their comments being taken to heart, reflected on, and used as learning opportunities, hapless young coders are instead using feedback as simply the next prompt in their “A

Trump Mobile TL;DR Trump Mobile is now advertising a new design for its upcoming T1 smartphone. If it looks familiar, that is because the team has now picked up the Galaxy S25 Ultra to showcase the design. Funnily, the image now used by Trump Mobile hides a logo from casemaker Spigen, suggesting the former lifted off media from the latter’s catalog.

A software developer has been sentenced to four years in prison for sabotaging his ex-employer's Windows network with custom malware and a kill switch that locked out employees when his account was disabled.

Since it was announced in June, Trump Mobile has committed to an increasingly-surreal smoke-and-mirrors approach to its promised T1 smartphone. Despite the initial claims that the phone would be made in the United States, it seemed highly unlikely from the start that it was accurate. The "Made in USA" claims were quietly removed from the Trump Mobile website at a later date.
