Was confused about this as well. The whole thing sounds as if someone confused LLMs writing code and inspecting or executing that code - and then ran with it.

Was confused about this as well. The whole thing sounds as if someone confused LLMs writing code and inspecting or executing that code - and then ran with it. Still, the idea of mostly formal code with dedicated sections that the LLM fills in doesn't sound so bad - but also a bit outdated. It would have been useful a year ago, but not when coding agents generate the entire project in a coffee break. Edit: The author explains it a bit more in another post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48863898 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48863898 If the audience are people who aren't necessarily able to inspect the generated code, but still want more structure and determinism than pure "vibe coding", this makes more sense.
