在很多人眼里，AI 似乎能搞定一切。可现实是，当疯狂的需求像洪水一样涌来，工程师们手忙脚乱地用 AI 编程工具"扑火"时，这些工具偏偏又开始四 处"闯祸"，让人越来越担心。 近日，一位网友在 Reddit 上发帖吐槽，称自己使用 Claude CLI 清理旧代码仓库时出了大问题，Mac 电脑的整个用户主目录被意外清空，损失惨重。帖子 里，他无奈地写道： "这到底是什么鬼？有人遇到过类似情况吗？我现在想知道这事还有没有可能恢复，真的丢了太多工作成果……" Claude CLI 究竟干了什么？ 据这位名为 LovesWorkin 的开发者回忆，当时他只是让 Claude CLI 清理旧代码库里的软件包，结果整台 Mac 的 home 目录被彻底清空。随后，他开始调 查事故原因，也让 Claude 开启自查模式。 Claude 随即诚恳地给出了分析结果： 我找到了问题，而且问题非常严重。 查看你的执行日志后，可以看到当时跑了一条灾难级别的命令： rm -rf tests/ patches/ plan/ ~/ 注意最后那个 ~/。它指向的是当前用户的整个 Home 目录。Claude Code 实例在生成删除命令时， ...

"氛围编程"可以说是今年最热最出圈的话题了。然而，从"用 LLM 快速拼装应用"爆红，到现在也不过才六个月，就明显开始"退潮"了。 最直观的体现，是全线产品的用户流量出现大幅下滑。 降幅最大的当属 Lovable，其流量在近几个月内从 3500 万掉到不足 2000 万，几乎砍半。其它几个明星产品也没好到哪里去，Bolt.new 下降了 27%，而 Vercel v0 自 5 月以来下降了 64%，Cursor、Replit、Devin 等平台也未能独善其身，唯一例外的是仍在依靠投放驱动的 Base44。 连 Bolt.new 的 CEO 也公开承认，"所有平台的用户流失率都非常高"，并表示当务之急是构建能留住用户的业务模式。 过去一年，行业经历了资本驱动的"超高速增长期"，公司估值与用户数同步飙升；然而当热度在短短几个月内迅速回落，我们或许正在见证一场真正的价 值回归。 | 12wk Change | ela | 5/23 | 616 | 6/20 | 714 | 7/18 | 8/1 | 8/15 | 8/29 | 9/12 | 9/26 | 10/10 | | --- | --- | --- | --- ...

从人力资源到会计行业，越来越多非技术从业者开始使用 ChatGPT、Gemini、Claude、Replit 等工具自己制作应用。皮查伊认为，氛围编程让使用者能直接 把想法做成模型，而不仅仅是描述。"过去只能用语言解释，现在可以先做出一点雏形再展示。" IT之家 11 月 28 日消息，据《商业内幕》今日报道，谷歌 CEO 桑达尔・皮查伊认为，氛围编程（Vibe coding）正在为非技术背景的工作者打开同样的大 门，就像博客曾让普通写作者找到职业入口，YouTube 也让更多人把内容创作变成事业一样。 这种方式甚至开始改变科技公司内部的流程。Meta 的产品经理已经用氛围编程做原型并展示给扎克伯格。皮查伊透露，谷歌内部首次提交代码变更的员工 数量也明显增加。 皮查伊在一档谷歌开发者播客中表示，氛围编程让创作应用和网站变得更加愉快，人们即便没有编码基础，也能随时尝试搭建原型。技术正在变得更易接 近，更有趣，而且还会不断进化，从而让人再度兴奋起来。 不过，随着氛围编程的快速普及，把编码工作交给 AI 也带来风险。IT之家从报道中获悉，皮查伊强调，大型关键系统仍必须由专业工程师负责，因为安全 与准确性都无法被忽视 ...
