I think it's worse than just IPO juicing. I think it's "look what our agents can do" and also pushing more on the "software engineers are becoming obsolete" line that Dario public-pronounces. Getting high on their own supply.

Projects seem to be getting approved or pushed there purely on the basis of showing off that they can vibe-build infrastructure.

Which.. yes, you can. But now maintain it. Understand it. Manage thousands of people using it. Those are part of the reasons we re-use proven solutions rather than rolling our own -- not just because the coding part is hard.

Same thing happened with the Bun rewrite. "Oh wow, look what we can do! What's that, nobody adult supervision telling us that this is a bad idea? Let's go!"
