That’s cool, take the good part of Brave, leave behind the villainous CEO and dodgy crypto scams

Out of the box yes this is true, but:

1. Custom instructions go a long way
2. Review the code yourself, tell it what to fix, and it will fix it. For me it often takes like 5 rounds of this before the code is fully polished to the point I’m proud of it. And you know what? It’s still MULTIPLE times faster than typing code by hand. And at least for me, the quality is higher, because I have 12 different agents that review the work too and they catch additional issues that even I missed.

If you or others ship shitty code don’t blame the LLM, the issue is entirely the engineer using it wrong

Skill issue tbh

It means that you created the code via natural language instructions to an LLM as opposed to typing by hand. You still need to verify its work, review and understand the code to at least some extent, and go through many iterations before it’s production ready.

Some people create vibeslop without looking at the code at all which is fine for a throwaway hobby project or personal tools but it will very quickly turn into unmaintainable garbage if you don’t guide the architecture, redirect away from bad approaches, review the code carefully and make the LLM fix any issues, ensure proper testing, and periodically refactor and improve code quality. If that sounds like hard work then that’s because it is, doing a good job with agentic accelerated engineering is hard work, but you can still build 2x-5x faster at the same quality level than if you typed it by hand. And that’s with current models, they’re only getting better

Fwiw that’s not what vibe coding means

I like AI

I think that’s far too low tbh

Yes it does

You’ve managed to be wrong 4 times in one sentence, that’s impressive

Guess I’m in the 10%

Personally I never respond if someone just writes “hi”, but i will always answer actual questions/requests

You have just described most software

Gotta say, of those two arguments, Brave’s is stronger

Personally as long as I’m not contributing to their wealth in some way I don’t think it really matters what the CEO of the company that makes a product does. I’m mostly just going to use the best product for me. Now there is an argument that simply by using it I’m contributing to their usage numbers which helps them, and that’s definitely true for social media platforms because of the network effect (which is why I stay off of the corporate ones), but it’s less true of other products. In fact if i use an ad-supported product but block the ads I’m likely costing them more than I am a benefit.

It’s also a spectrum rather than black and white: every medium or larger tech company, especially if american due to the deregulated and in many cases openly corrupt capitalism, is going to do evil things for profit and be both run and owned by evil people/corporations. But their level of danger to global society varies. Musk is extremely dangerous because of his active campaign to bring fascism and nationalism to power in Europe, which is why x.com is blocked in my house at a DNS level. Other billionaires are dangerous too but they’re not all equal.

It’s not a difficulty issue It’s that lots of us have tried Firefox and don’t like it.

Personally I don’t use Firefox because it is buggy, is missing critical features, implements some web standards weirdly and has weird user agent styles. The end result is that many websites don’t look right and don’t work correctly and/or fully

This is the only possible explanation of why people think Princess Bride is good

This made me lol. German humour is underrated 😀

Toddlers don’t have very good languages skills though, I think you’d probably need a school aged child’s skill level.

You’re the asshole for expecting an open source project to have to spend all their time supporting every possible niche browser/configuration, rather than spending time building their actual product that people want to use.

Nothing to see here, just another “token based LLMs can’t count letters in words” post

Hey what’s wrong with going to bed at 8pm
