Short lived and driven by good intentions– all's good. Thanks again for keeping this thing going!

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 vetti…

+1. Google launched their (proprietary) vector tiles in 2013 as well, and I'd even argue that vector has been the standard well over 5 years now.
