Agreed. It also needs roundrects.

I think someone vibecoded a bad System 7 replacement that had at least some QuickDraw in it.

In this case, actually doing those things would probably make it insufferably slow on a real PC though at least at vibe-coding quality.

The real implications here (also looking at the WinWord port to win64, which I suspect had some AI involvement as well) is that current agentic AI completely changes what a hobbiest can do over a weekend, as long as AI slop code is acceptable to meet one's project goals.

It's certainly affecting things I've worked on... there'll be a much better version of ld-decode soon using Claude Fable which is faster and has better filtering (and an audio noise-reduction post-processor that actually works) and I'm pretty sure you could get much of ELKS working from scratch in one weekend at this point. whispers something about doing a UNIX-like on a pi pico 2 (or two), since he can't do it because reasons...
