Very interesting observation.

- sneilan1 1y agoSame. I haven't written any code by hand in some time. Oh well. I guess I'm just doing it wrong.
- BoorishBears 1y agoHave you built anything public that folks can try out? Not doubting but it helps to contextualize things
- sneilan1 1y agohttps://app.grantpuma.com/ https://app.grantpuma.com/ It's a startup for finding grants. We have california state, federal, non-profit and california city/county grants. My landing page absolutely sucks but if you sign up / upload some papers or make some search cards you'll like the experience. I'm very excited to try out the new Qwen XL that came out recently for visual design. I could really use some better communication to users of the capabilities of the platform.
- BoorishBears 1y agoLanding site is completely broken on Safari, iOS 26, stable channel, iPhone 17 Air A lot of content is off-screen, and can't be swiped back on-screen. - Actual app did let me theough the flow, but had things like dialogs staying open and covering content (I assume a non tech person would have missed them) I think part of the AI gap right now is the UI/UX you're expecting. AI isn't able to meet the bar for UI work for me at all right now. I do use it via Tab completion, or chat for specific scaffolding, but the agentic form is rough
- dimgl 1y agoThere are so many people en masse who simply cannot accept that the days of coding manually, by hand, could be coming to an end. It's wild.

- BoorishBears 1y agoI want them to come: I'm good at product and have 101 competitors I'd smash on distribution and product with my army of coding agents. But you're inventing the strawman that anyone who thinks the AI isn't there yet is in denial... some of us just have a higher bar than tailwind slop. (Ironically I think SWEs most impressed by current agents are really done for... no niche non-tech knowledge to translate into novel software. But also don't have great taste/product sense: otherwise no one would have to point out that the UI/UX is not good enough.)
- dimgl 1y agoWhy do you assume that LLMs are only coding Tailwind slop...? I've used LLMs extensively in C++ development of Unreal Engine games.
- BoorishBears 1y agoYou went months without writing a single line of code by prompting in Unreal, or you didn't read the thread carefully and jumped to non-sequitur?
- dimgl 1y agoYour original comment implies that "vibe coding", AKA, using LLMs to code, produces suboptimal results. I'm telling you that I've used LLMs extensively to write Unreal Engine games that work well, not just "Tailwind slop". You're not having a discussion in good faith.
- hsn915 1y agoCan you show me a sample of the code you have AI write for you?

- bopbopbop7 1y agoHave you built anything in 18 months? I keep asking to see these apps that people supposedly vibe coded in a weekend but when I ask them to share it, nothing.
- gabriel-uribe 1y agohttps://www.gabrieluribe.me https://www.gabrieluribe.me I have some publicly accessible projects there.
- bopbopbop7 1y agoAh, a $999 vibe coding course. That completely checks out.
- gabriel-uribe 1y agoThat is one of many things! I offer that because I've had enough people request it over the past year. Otherwise, I do professional software consulting + a variety of projects as an independent.
