Are those .md files an automatic sign of vibe coding, or just general LLM use? I assume today that more or less any corporate coding environment will have such features (but I’m not a professional programmer). As a company whose currency is trust, I would hope they’re being careful with their use of AI.

There is a somewhat concerning +26k/-26k lines on the desktop app in April, but maybe that’s just copying a major release from the internal repository to the public one? I don’t have time to dig in for now, and TBH probably don’t have the skills to understand any possible smell.

I have a lifetime WS membership from long ago and have more than gotten my value out of it. Their European service used to be mediocre so I’ve switched around over the last 6 years-ish. I used Mullvad for a while until they dropped port forwarding, then Proton until the MAGA incident. Now I’m back to WS with a fixed ip and it has improved noticeably. If there’s a clear doubt, Air’s 3 year subscription is barely more per year than the fixed ip with WS.
