I'm on the latest version (2.1.154 as of this comment). Based on the timestamps on those Issues being reported I think it's happening on the latest version.

I'm sure it will get fixed eventually/soon, just annoying to update and have your workflow break.

Google really can’t help themselves but to have some internal re-org kill off a public thing people are actively using. It’s honestly impressive how consistent they are.

There was a moment about a week ago where Claude went down for about an hour. And right after it came back up it was clear a lot of people had given up and were not using it.

It was probably 3x faster than usual. I got more done in the next hour with it than I do in half a day usually. It was definitely a bit of a glimpse into a potential future of “what if these things weren’t resource constrained and could just fly”.

Seems like a big opportunity for Google to consider keeping Gemini ad-free as a differentiator. They can afford to burn cash on it for a long time to come if they choose to do so.

Glad to hear the impact was so muted. Thank you for the response!

Did the client side JS being infected produce any issues which would have affected end users? As in if a web owner were on an affected version and deployed during the window would the end user of their site have had any negative impact?

Recently used a lot of HaxeUI for a game and it felt similar to this. A lot of components included out of the box that “just work” with some basic styling. And you can use CSS styling on top to further customize as needed. Works across a lot of different platforms as well.

Is this available somewhere to use?

Anyone using one as your daily driver for coding? Or tried and it didn’t keep?

Happy to support this, desperately needs to be changed.

I made one of the original posts on HN about this years ago after hearing about it from my CPA. Both then and now these changes make zero sense to me as a matter of good policy. I am also still surprised at the number of people in tech who either haven’t heard about this or are willfully ignoring it and likely filing their taxes incorrectly.
