This was in response to rsync having horrible new bugs from vibe coding that were so bad that people thought they had malware. Does the intent matter when the end result is the same?
Vibe coded software is closer to “unfiltered water collected from public toilet bowls” than “unfiltered water”. We KNOW it’s almost guaranteed to be unsanitary!
“Pissing in the soup” doesn’t really work here unless you’re adulterating the software with something malicious.

Holy crap I thought rsync is a super serious and professional program. Didn’t thought they ruin it with vibecodeing.
A lot of important infra depends rsync.
I believe serious one is openrsync, the openbsd fork that does NOT have vibe-coding.
You mean like near every program?
Unfiltered river water might be a better comparison. It’s not intentionally poisoned, but you might not want to drink it if you don’t have to.

Good comparison, too.
