I mean I don’t think these projects will be maintained by humans anyway because they are not structured by humans. If the AI fucks up then its a lost cause. And maybe you’ll better off create a new version from scratch instead of trying to maintain one when LLM starts to fail. Just ask Gemini 3.5 this time around. The AI can write obfuscated code. Name all variables from a to z. Even emit binaries directly. Who cares if it works?

Unfortunately I think this will the the future of vibe coding. Minified blobs of code that only the AI is able to edit. We don't usually review the compiler's use of registers or memory allocation after all.

> If the AI fucks up then its a lost cause. And maybe you’ll better off create a new version from scratch instead of trying to maintain one So how does it save time? Do I also tell customers we're blowing things up and redoing it every few months with potential risks like data loss?

  I guess the idea is that the customers are the ones interacting with the LLM and we are homeless if this thing goes that way. Probably saves a lot of their money in exchange for some of their time.. I personally do not think any of this is a good idea but here we are. And I was making fun of AI images with the weird fingers and shit just a year ago, now it's hard to identify AI generated images. The code gen now can create a single file space invaders which is impressive but shitty according to all coding metrics. They are getting better. At some point the single file shit stew will be good enough cause the context windows and capabilities of LLMs will be able to handle those files. That's when nobody gonna care I guess.

Things like lighting are still way off (on the latest models). > At some point the single file shit stew will be good enough At some point we'll be living in Mars too.
