The vibe coded aspect of this article seems quite irrelevant to me. If I read this correctly, an exec team (or just CEO?) got sold a terrible piece of software without proper vetting. Very bad software has existed for a long time, and this

Yep, this is it. I've heard similar. I worked for a few years at a 100+ year old privately owned (same family) B2B supplier with insane profits. Website was outdated but highly practical, sales/CRM (if you can call it that) system

The lack of boundaries below national level is off-putting. Both the style and the tile spec itself seem to need a lot of refinement... highways look like a patchwork at low zoom. I had also thought shortbread excluded a lot of POI types, b

Likewise, not sure how this will be sustainable. "Even google"... I'd instead say "Especially google". It's already a mess out there, and I hope Google and others take an active role in at least trying to make
