a "feature" that every user has asked for - which is the equivalent of changing claude.md to agents.md - and the release isn't even smooth because the telemetry isn't wired up quite right.

for an organization that is being used as a model for new agentic software development practices.... and every software exec on earth is trying to reshape their organizations after - its a pretty stupid bug for a feature that should've been straightforward in the first place + took forever for them to get around to.

its just kind of emblamatic of the rough edges that exist EVEN FOR SIMPLE THINGS whenever human judgement is totally removed the equation.

Or it’s as simple as “hey, they don’t want telemetry? Cool, we’ll turn off all the extra phoning home” and their feature flag code uses the same paths as telemetry because it’s the same endpoint, etc.

Oops, easy mistake!

Except it’s not a new issue. This is just the feature that made it a conversation topic.

ps: apparently thats not how you spell emblematic - but I'm actually glad to leave a little humanity around given the topic :D

Good thing they don't apply the same standards to security sandboxes.

and the enshittification lives on

The issue is that this is the thing that got “noticed”. The problem is that your program behavior is now unpredictable. Anything can happen!
