The vibecoder was on MeshOS, which indeed is not open source


That's the board firmware, not the official Meshcore Android or IOS app.

It wasn't ai assisted coding, it was vibe coding from someone with no real coding background. A communication protocol can't be vibe coded, how do you enforce security if the person is unable to understand what the tool created?

Especially when they try to hide that they were using those tools in the first place


>It wasn't ai assisted coding, it was vibe coding from someone with no real coding background.

Can you elaborate on this?

I'd agree that is problematic. But that's not what the article said. The article just said he was using Claude Code a lot. It's ridiculous to equivocate those two things. That's what I have an issue with.


Definitely not, the design was quite carefully made to avoid the pitfalls of Meshtastic. The developers documented quite a lot of their early work. It really didn't feel like a vibe-coded type of environment.


I knew from that moment never to use any Vercel product. If your leadership is that compromised, you know the rest of the ship is heading into a wall.

What do you use to edit texts on a dashboard or cms?

My wife needed a website. I’m not much of a frontend coder but I looked at the price of squarespace for a year and decided to go that route with AI.

Website is Astro. I easily update sophisticated designs with Claude or Gemini cli.

Hosted for free on cloudflare, it’s super fast. Any git update deploys to the website in a minute.

Got an hosted email form with astro action.

The only thing left is integrating a CMS. I was thinking of keystatic but it’s not compatible with Astro 6 yet. That’s the issue with vibe coding a stack you don’t know as much, without realizing it picked a version of astro that was so new that some tools didnt quite integrate with it yet.


For some personal projects in the past I have used google sheets and cloudflare workers, I guess it could be called CMS, but it was quite restricted of course.

This project has a "shared" backend for the content management and its completely self built. Because there are many clients who use it to edit things its feasible to pay for the hosting.

For a solo project, id be quite interested if someone would build a native editor that can be just hooked with git, so it would make it possible to run the site serverless. Maybe one already exists. "IDE" for static websites.


Are you planning on having just simple content as markdown files, or your own database + CMS?


I want to avoid a database, so it would be file storage on git for content.


Absolutely in a competitive market.

There’s an argument to be made that Amazon has so much of the online buying market that’s it’s not competitive and can likely get away with increasing price. And I tend to agree with that


Walmart.com is a major competitor to Amazon, including for third-party vendors. So are brands choosing to sell direct. Lots of people regularly compare prices like that. And tons of people use Google Shopping for price comparison.

Amazon is in an extremely competitive market. They can raise prices for fulfillment because everybody has to because everybody's fuel prices are going up.


I disagree. There are many other sites to buy anything you find on Amazon. If they raise prices and don't drop them, but other online retailers either don't increase or lower after they do, Amazon loses.

People Google things they're going to buy. Or at the very least they go to other places they're familiar with like Walmart (for the US).


There is an argument to be made yes, but not a particularly good one.


Reminder the whole world is not the United States of America. While you make the choice of voting for someone who thinks tariffs are good for the local market, no other country joined your bandwagon.


Yep, especially if we look at what happened just last week, both Google and Anthropic have dropped how much you get out of your existing plans.


Don’t confuse plan changes with profitability of inference. When people talk about the cost to serve a token and it being profitable we are referring to API cost not the plans which absolutely subsidize some level of use. Hard to know what is breakeven on plan math.


That's not a necessarily profitability thing as much as a demand thing. The only way to improve the supply for those willing to pay more is to take it away from those paying less. Once supply catches up to demand things will change


Meta is definitely lobbying in Canada, I don't know why you think this is so far fetched.

Near impossible? No, meta is frequently making themselves part of conversation on various regulations in the country.
