OpenChaos.dev — Democracy in Code, Until Vercel Saved the Blank Page

4mon 16d ago by programming.dev/u/lens0021 in programmer_humor@programming.dev from www.openchaos.dev

OpenChaos.dev is an experiment where the most upvoted pull request gets merged every day. Today’s winning PR added a 1.337% chance of serving a blank page. And Vercel, doing exactly what it’s supposed to do, cached it. So a probabilistic failure became a permanent outage.

This was bound to happen anyway.

Too, too long.

Someone should vibe code something for that project...

By which I mean add buttplug.io support.

dickbutt is merged last week. Isn't enough? https://github.com/skridlevsky/openchaos/pull/14

Ah, entropy

It's back to life again, and the 1.3337% check is now moved to client-side

Edit: huh, fucky internet made a double post
