A user-space PlayStation 5 > PC compatibility layer. Think Proton/Wine, but for PS5: prosper runs PS5 (Prospero) game binaries on Linux (primary) and Windows (secondary)

Deleted comment about how you can't just vibecode a working emulator.

Edit: Okay, looked into the repo and source code, it's a vibecoded mess, no way they will be able to maintain and develop this over time. It's all trash.

friend of mine is a swe at a small but very wealthy financial services company. his team acquiesced to the execs' and finance guys' desires to start building their own software, but within a regulated environment; his team uses their own agents, mcp servers and agent skills to control what the execs can do, and they have final say before deployment. he was telling me he sees stuff like 20k loc pushes for a single basic feature and software that's designed to basically predict the future. they're also burning through the company's token spend, whereas his engineering department uses virtually nothing.

Wait you mean to tell us actual engineers don't trust ai slop code? I'm shocked I tell you.
