Counterpoint: LLMs seem to depend on robust, stable, and easy to use libraries nearly as much as we do. Due to context limitations, vibe-coding a mega-monolithic project in one shot with zero dependencies would be a silly exercise. Therefore, there is still a use for sharing code, even if plenty of it is agentic.
- ninetypercent 11mo agoLLMs only "depend" on libraries because library usage is in their training set. Clearly they don't actually need to use libraries.
- ip26 11mo agoUsing a library keeps the context window smaller than writing it all yourself. I also suspect the whole vibe-coding thing works best when most of the total running code is NOT vibe-coded, and follows carefully defined behavior the fast-and-loose parts can build on top of. Otherwise, why bother to run your vibe-coded website on nginx? Just have the LLM spit out its own novel web server, its own novel TCP stack, its own novel OS for that matter.
- ninetypercent 11mo agoWhy bother indeed!
