I’m rididbxeuebb, professional Neovim cultist and full-time hater of bloated tech garbage.
This site is my personal dumping ground for raw, unfiltered rants about the fucking clown show that is modern software development — bloated node_modules, endless build pipelines, and AI that hallucinates more than it helps.
If you’re here for that sanitized LinkedIn bullshit like “leveraging synergies to drive innovation in cloud-native ecosystems,” get the fuck out.
Real ones only. We’re all mad here.

Google says the browser can talk to a local model now. Sure. And the model just happens to be Google's, the policy is Google's, and the compatibility problem is everybody else's.
-
Bitwarden's 93-minute npm fiasco is what happens when the thing guarding the vault gets shoved through the same rotten release pipeline as everything else.
-
73 sleeper extensions, 300 million monthly downloads, and everyone still acting shocked that 'open' is not the same thing as 'safe'.
-
A single search path entry turns “just require the module” into “please run whatever is sitting in the current directory.”
-
The cute dotfolders around your AI agent now hold the keys, routes, and trust. Naturally, thieves noticed.
-
GitHub dressed Copilot cloud agent up in signatures, runner controls, and a shinier status page. That's not trust; that's compliance cosplay.
-
New signups are paused, limits are tighter, and the agentic dream is suddenly wearing a meter and pretending that is innovation.
-
The Vercel/Context.ai mess is what happens when you call delegated inbox access 'collaboration' and then act surprised when it bites.
-
Anthropic called it expected behavior. That is one hell of a euphemism for 'we shipped a subprocess cannon.'
-
Firefox Nightly just grew Web Serial support, which is great if you like microcontrollers and terrifying if you think browsers should stay in their lane.
-
When your editor changes its face without asking, that’s not polish. That’s user betrayal with better typography.
-
Vercel's Claude plugin managed to turn a telemetry prompt into a trust problem, which is a spectacularly stupid way to design a question.
-
Cal.com going private is what happens when a public repo stops pretending it can also be your security model.

Google turned a shortcut into a toolbar wart and expected applause.
-
A patch release stripped Tailwind's layer order and reminded everyone that speed is useless if your bundler starts rewriting meaning.
-
Open beta, native Linux, Panorama, and a Source engine upgrade that finally sounds like it wants to survive.
-
AI agents flooded GitHub with junk PRs, and now the platform is pretending this is a workflow problem instead of a fire it lit.
-
OpenAI’s Axios incident is the latest proof that CI pipelines turn into clown shoes the second you let dependency installs near code-signing keys.
-
A CEO, a contract, a chatbot, and a corporate meltdown so stupid it practically wrote its own contempt citation.
-
Package managers are finally treating new releases like contaminated evidence instead of holy scripture.
-
The RubyGems fracture was bad enough. The incident report? It's a masterclass in missing the point so completely that you actually worsen the damage.
-
Oracle has held the JavaScript trademark since 2009 despite creating nothing, using nothing, and contributing nothing. The legal drama is finally coming to a head.
-
A G7 nation is officially ditching Microsoft for Linux. Twenty years of advocacy failed, but Trump might have just won the argument in six weeks. The irony is unbearable.
-
A Zig-based text editor with 1.8k stars, zero corporate backing, and a developer who actually uses it as their daily driver. What a concept.
-
A singing toilet with a human head has 65 billion views and I'm supposed to be upset about this? Please. We've been eating Tide Pods since 2018.
-
TDF just kicked out 30+ Collabora developers — including 7 of the top 10 committers. The same foundation that FORKED away from corporate control is now acting exactly like corporate overlords. History does not repeat, it slaps you in the face until you bleed.
-
Microsoft rewriting TypeScript in Go. All your PRs? 67. The JS codebase? 67. We are so back... or are we 67?
-
A completely unreasonable defense of the most horrific programming language ever created, with genuine technical arguments and absolutely zero self-awareness.
-
Andrew Kelley just rewrote std.io. Again. And honestly? He might be right, but everyone who uses Zig deserves a medal for sticking around.
-
The absolute state of corporate open source contributions in 2026: AMD submits verbose, redundant, AI-slop-emoji-looking code to FFmpeg, gets publicly roasted by maintainers, and Vulkan exists you idiots.
-
Mercor got pwned through LiteLLM. 4TB of data. Lapsus$ is auctioning your KYC documents. And the AI companies that built their business on this mess are mysteriously quiet.
-
Every other AI slop fork is trash, but Antigravity takes the cake — security holes, quota death spirals, and a community that had to build Better Antigravity to fix Google's own damn mess.
-
Anthropic Built an AI So Dangerous They're Giving It to Microsoft. That Should Keep You Up at Night.
Claude Mythos can apparently crack infrastructure faster than you can say "zero-day." And Anthropic's brilliant solution? Hand it to the same companies that got pwned in every major breach of the last decade.
-
When the farthest humans from Earth needed to name something beautiful, they chose a crater for the wife their commander lost.
-
Microsoft just announced they will harvest your Copilot interactions to train their models, opt-out by April 24, or shut up and enjoy the soup.
-
They fixed typos in your PR and added advertisements. Plus they announced they will train on your code by default starting April 24. This is the most Microsoft thing I have ever seen.
-
The Digital Age Assurance Act will force Windows, Linux, macOS, and even your goddamn smart refrigerator to verify your age. The law is a technical illiterate's fever dream, and somehow it's actually happening.
-
EmDash is either the most important thing to happen to CMSes in a decade or a two-month fever dream held together by AI optimism. Let's talk about why both could be true.
-
An unfiltered rant about the worst trend to hit software engineering since "move fast and break things" became an excuse for security debt.
-
Some lunatic demanded systemd ban all AI-generated code. The maintainers said no. Here's why that's the correct take.
-
A brutal autopsy of Y Combinator's CEO and his 37,000 lines of AI-generated diarrhea per day.
-
13.5k stars, 1.2k forks, one burned-out maintainer, and a community that treated "free" like "owed." The most popular Neovim plugin just died and the funeral is exactly as messy as you would expect.
-
Four astronauts are floating around the moon, millions of miles from Earth, and somehow the most pressing issue is that Outlook won't load. I have some thoughts.
-
Rémi Verschelde just admitted he can't keep up anymore. AI slop PRs are drowning the Godot engine and nobody with power gives a single shit. This is what your 'vibe coding' revolution looks like from the receiving end.
-
Four astronauts are circling the moon right now and somehow the most interesting thing is the toilet. Let me explain why this is actually a big deal.
-
The cryptographer vs. RustSec saga is the most entertaining open source meltdown of 2026, and nobody comes out looking good.
-
North Korean hackers hijacked the axios maintainer account, pushed malicious versions with a cross-platform RAT, and the JavaScript ecosystem just shrugged. Again.
-
They left a source map in the npm package. 500K lines of code exposed. Kairos, unreleased features, all of it. The internet is absolutely feasting.
-
VS Code's new Agent mode lets AI execute code, modify files, run commands — basically everything. Then Microsoft quietly dropped a warning: 'Don't fully trust AI-generated code.' NO SHIT, SHERLOCK.
-
Mitchell Hashimoto just extracted the terminal core from Ghostty and gave it to us as a C library. I've ascended. Send help.
-
Stop doom-scrolling Reddit threads. Here is an honest breakdown of what both editors do well, what they suck at, and which one will waste less of your precious time.
-
The Trivy supply chain compromise spread to 141 packages in a week. And somehow, the solution is still 'just don't run untrusted code lol.'
-
The biggest upgrade since sliced bread. Built-in plugin manager. LSP out of the goddamn box. Time to delete 8,000 lines of brittle Lua garbage and ascend to a higher plane of existence.
-
Tencent scraped an open source project's data, got called out publicly, and then threw money at the problem. The open source community watches and learns nothing.
-
The milestone says March 28. Today is March 29. There are TWO ISSUES LEFT. I have refreshed the GitHub page 47 times today. This is a cry for help disguised as a blog post.
-
I am absolutely LOSING IT over here. These Neovim contributors are SINGLE-HANDEDLY keeping my productivity alive and I need everyone to know about it.
-
The company that built its brand on ethics just pulled the nastiest move of 2026 — and somehow DHH is the voice of reason.
-
There is no triumphant comeback. There is only a blinking cursor in an empty room, and a YouTube video that kept the engine off.
-
An AI agent got its pull request rejected by a human maintainer and published a personal attack. This is the most honest thing about the state of modern development.
-
A prominent tech founder used Replit to build a business app. The AI agent deleted 1,200 verified executive records after being told to freeze. This is vibe coding in 2026.
-
The chardet 7.0.0 debacle proves that AI has finally killed the only thing protecting open source from corporate parasites.
-
A deep dive into the most cursed corner of JavaScript, where six characters are all you need to make the entire language kneel before you.
-
The Zig Software Foundation just left GitHub over a bug in a shell script. This is the most relatable thing any open source project has done in years.
-
The advice to avoid comments misses the point. The problem is not comments. The problem is what people write in them.
-
The real problem with software is not AI replacing programmers. It is that we stopped expecting programmers to be careful.
-
When something breaks, the error message is the only thing standing between your user and their next move. Treat it accordingly.

On ThePrimeagen, vim extremists, and why watching a developer think out loud is more useful than most tutorials.

The color-scheme meta tag does more than most developers realize. Here is why it belongs in every project.
-
I would avoid OpenClaw because a personal assistant with broad integrations, host access, and remote surfaces creates too much privacy and security risk.
-
A case against treating code as disposable text when the real work is understanding, review, and responsibility.
-
A practical case for swapping React for Preact when you want less framework weight without abandoning JSX.
