It might be a vibe coding fatigue. Or simonw fatigue. I for one lose any curiosity when I see a vibe coded project/post because I've used LLMs so much that I don't find the generated results impressive or even interesting at all.
They all still sucks big time and this won't change with a better prompt or model, there's no breakthrough and compared to 6 months ago they did not get that much better.
- simonw 1y agoI think both vibe coding fatigue and simonw fatigue are understandable at this point - though I do think this is one of my best posts in a while, so I was hoping it would hit the homepage. The thing that changed in the past six months is that tool calling in a loop got really good, and a bunch of new tools - like OpenAI Codex and Claude Code - showed up that take full advantage of that. I don't think my "build a scraper from my phone with a single prompt" example from this post would have worked six months ago - the tooling wasn't there yet.

- simonw 1y agoWhat LLM tool would you have used six months ago to write and execute a custom web scraper from a mobile phone?
- owebmaster 1y agoNot sure about any tool but I use whatsapp + whatsapp web to "write and execute a custom web scraper from a mobile phone" since ChatGPT 4. Currently migrating from whatsapp to bittorrent or nostr. Maybe I should have turned that into an app.
