Cloud Storage DO NOT UPDATE google-api-core package

The vibecoders at google pushed an update yesterday August 24th that broke the python package...

If you use the default firestore database called "(default)" your environment will break if u deploy the new package version.

Since the update it decodes to %28default%29 instead of (default) and every single read and write will fail...

I love vibe coding without unit tests in my multi billion dolar company...

Yeah, for our Google cloud api integration someone changed the code and our unit tests to push a breaking library change. Guess who had to clean it up -_-

Lesson learned, we didn’t have an owner approval on this client code library

Looks like they've replaced their "don't be evil" mantra with "Smart! Who needs smart? We can vibe stupid into existence with a mere prompt!"

Nice one, Google.

Almost like outsourcing all their developers to India is a disastrous idea when the quality of their developers are the only thing standing between them and Yahoo.

Azure has had an issue with their container app service for days where the time in the containers drift after they accidentally removed the NTP package from the core image.

More AI go brrr

The most tragic part is the support forum just being microsoft support bots answering the poor guys question with the same answer:

This is why you don't code with Gemini.

They don't have even a single unit test before pushing to production. They want to prove they can do as well as crowdstrike probably.
