I’ve been wondering if vibe coding was responsible for the recent introduction of acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) bugs in FaceTime (muting and unmuting the microphone appears to temporarily fix it). Apple has always had excellent AEC in my experience, it’s sad to see them breaking a fundamental phone function.

It could also be the problem was that they tried to code it themselves instead of letting a computer do it.

Like doing long division by hand instead of trusting a calculator.

It worked perfectly for a long before Claude and friends existed, so I don't think it follows that not using these tools has led to the problem now.

Just a few years before Claude, in 2019, there was that huge facetime audio bug.

Perfectly for me I guess I should have said. Nonetheless, this md file packaging mistake suggests that at least once they’ve fallen into not reviewing changes properly, and I wonder if that lack of discipline is more widespread. I hope not, otherwise their ability to deliver on their privacy promises will be compromised.

Well, at least the calculator is deterministic.
