Recently, vibe coding bit Jason Lemkin, trusted advisor to SaaStr, the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business community, in the worst possible way. The vibe program, Replit, he said, went "rogue during a code freeze and shutdown and deleted our entire database."

In a word: Wow. Just wow.

shutdown

Hey SJVN! When you see someone making an obvious spelling mistake, you use [sic] to show you're leaving the mistake as-is.

Thanks!

    there's no spelling mistake here. whether or not you agree it can be a verb (probably not), "shutdown" definitely can be a noun. it's not that AI shut it down, it's that this happened during the shutdown
