What part of the recent history of vibe coded projects has not resulted in low quality, bug laden code? Dismissing this a "purely speculative" is just like dismissing the weather report as "purely speculative" when deciding what to wear in the morning.
- cortesoft 5mo agoThere is quite the selection bias going on here... you aren't hearing about the successful projects.
- dawnerd 5mo agoCare to list them then? I have yet to see a successful vibe coded project
- Dylan16807 5mo agoPeople love to brag about using AI to get work done. If anything I expect the successful projects to be overrepresented.
- add-sub-mul-div 5mo agoWith all the unprecedented investment and desperation behind it, these hypothetical LLM successes would be getting shoved down our throats.
- asadotzler 5mo agoWe're only hearing about the failed projects? I call BS. Precisely the oppositee is both true and obvious if you're not a shill. The "successful" ones are being trotted out all the time trying to convince us how great it is. If anything, we're not hearing about all the catastrophic and costly failures while the cherry-picked almost successes are all over this platform and others.
- denidoman 5mo agoVibe coding from scratch is far from translating an existing app to another language. I don't know any bad stories about ai-translated apps. Partially because it's a relatively new trend, but also because a big amount of usual vibe code fail modes are not applicable here.
- nekzn 5mo agoDoesn’t bun have a massive test suite that the rewrite passes? What else do people want?
- happytoexplain 5mo agoTests are one quality control. It's horrifying that some of us treat them as the only thing that matters. There's review, obviously, and of course we haven't even had to think about "written by a thinking mind" as a beneficial quality until now.
- skeledrew 5mo agoHow is "written by a thinking mind" a beneficial quality? All of sounds like to me is bias and gatekeeping. History repeating itself.
- applfanboysbgon 5mo ago1. You cannot make bug-free software with tests alone. Moreover, code that compiles and executes successfully is only one goal, memory efficiency and performance and security are other desirable traits. Claude Code can consume GBs of memory to display 1kb of text because it is slopware. 2. Even if somehow you did make bug-free software with tests alone, even if the Rust port is at perfect parity with the Zig codebase today owing to the years of careful human work that went into building tests as a framework to guide the AI... the future can only be downhill from here. Nobody has a mental model of the new 1m loc codebase that's never read by humans, so Bun's future is committed to 100% vibecoding. Maybe the carefully planned tests minimized the worst case scenario, but the future tests will be written by Claude too. If, and this is a big if, it turns out that there are no major problems and Bun is better off in a year from today than it is now... then somebody can just fire up Claude and fork yt-dlp to support Bun anyways and their decision doesn't matter. In any other scenario than human code becoming completely obsolete, they are simply saving themselves a headache by getting rid of a troublesome dependency.
- jhack 5mo agoLow quality, bug laden code has existed long before LLMs and it'll continue to exist long after. Their rationale about avoiding future headaches could literally apply to any open source project they have a dependency on.
- happytoexplain 5mo agoThe existence of bad code doesn't mean you should be happy to accept it.
- malfist 5mo agoSometimes I step in dog poop. That doesn't mean I want to go to a dog park, find all the poop and roll around in it.
