A post by [object Object] (@[email protected]) saying: courtesy of @[email protected], Proton is now the only privacy vendor I know of that vibe codes its apps: In the single most damning thing I can say about Proton in 2025, the Proton GitHub repository has a “cursorrules” file. They’re vibe-coding their public systems. Much secure! I am once again begging anyone who will listen to get off of Proton as soon as reasonably possible, and to avoid their new (terrible) apps in any case. https://circumstances.run/@davidgerard/114961415946154957

It has a reply by the author saying: in an unsurprising update for those familiar with how Proton operates, they silently rewrote their monorepo’s history to purge .cursor and hide that they were vibe coding: https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClients/tree/2a5e2ad4db0c84f39050bf2353c944a96d38e07f

given the utter lack of communication from Proton on this, I can only guess they’ve extracted .cursor into an external repository and continue to use it out of sight of the public

    To be fair, fake news got them work up about how it will take ur jerb…

    Anyone one with any w2 slavery experience will quickly asses that ain’t true…

    But they miss the part where it is a tool and it scale with your skill level. Anyone using to try to get the right answer will fail.

    Smart user will uses in the work flow where it helps and just keep doing their job otherwise

    It will put pressure on entry level. But it ain’t replacing mid level cogs that actually do all the work
