Was the animation vibe coded by any chance?

    Not vibecoded, completely vibed:

    while(working) {
       chatgpt.prompt("Please generate an image similar to the current spinner image, but rotated a slight bit more to the right.");
    }
    

    Their fix will probably be, adding "Give a quick answer, don't think too hard" to the prompt.

    I use an agent at work, and it added a little animated icon for me to a page. Seemed just fine. My colleague removed it a week later because he found it was causing a huge performance lag on some of the pages he maintains.

    It used a css key frame animation. Seemed fine, but apparently was not.

    The Codex TUI has a similar bug where a useless animation costs way too many resources, but it's definitely a different area of code. It was originally redrawing the entire TUI screen every 32ms. That one has a Codex-created fix, but user PR's aren't considered anymore. It was originally memory leaking 20GB (!) over 2-3 days
