> major catastrophes haven't happened yet because of vibe coding

Didn't Azure, AWS and Cloudflare crash a few times in the second half of 2025 because of vibe coding?

[bragh]

They crashed yes, but not for too long and they did recover. And was it ever confirmed it was because of vibe coding? Not sure how much if any it even impacted their stock.

[inigyou]

It was confirmed each was because of vibe coding.

Can you share some links?

Asking for myself, some friends and HN community at large.

Catastrophies would be we vibe coded a nuclear plant or space rocket system and we blew up thousands of people due to a vibe coding error.

I can confirm that nuclear power plant software has much higher quality level than normal commercial software and extremly extensive testing. In addition, lot of nuclear safety is checked below the software level on hardware level.

Developement of nuclear power plant software is very conservative, it will use LLMs maybe in 10-15 years.

Bringing most of the western world economy to a standstill isn't one? When I say AWS was down I mean AWS was down.

> Bringing most of the western world economy to a standstill

That’s a huge exaggeration.

[inigyou]

True, it was Crowdstrike that did that, and that one wasn't AI.

The Crowdstrike outage only affected Windows machines. It probably improved the world economy.
