I'm not sure about this: An "infinite" canvas without some notion of recursion such as viewports feels incomplete.

Agreed. The upside is that it does not leave the most important aspect open to interpretation. But it prevents this from being text-only at the point of creation: You'll most likely need some programmatic environment to create non-triv

Opus 4.5 is already pretty good. Opus 4.5 is $25/m output tokens. This is at most $6/m output tokens. That's ~1/4 the price.

Isn't this a common architecture in CQRS systems? Commands to go specific microservices with local state persisted in a small DB; queries go to a global aggregation system.

Maybe they should implement a graph based trust system: You need your favourite academic gatekeeper (= thesis advisor) to vouch for you in order to be allowed to upload. Then AI slop gets flagged and the shame spreads through the graph. And

I think restrcicting this discussion to LLMs - as it is often done - misses the point: LLMs + harnesses can actually learn. That's why I think the term "system" as used in the paper is much better.

I like both worlds: Tinkering and vibe coding. My shift in perspective is really: Not all code deserves to be hand-crafted. Some stuff can be wonky as long as it does it's job. (And I think the wonkyness will reduce in vibe-coding as h

I think this is 100% the right direction: Instead of imperatively letting the agents hammer your codebase into shape through a series of prompts, you declare your intent, observe the outcome and refine the spec. The agents then serve as a c

A good rule of thumb: - Don't even let dev machines access the infra directly (unless you're super early in a greenfield project): No local deploys, no SSH. Everything should go through either the pipeline or tools. Why? - The mom

I think you could also argue that LLMs in coding are actually just a novel approach at code reuse: At the microscopic level, they excel at replicating known patterns in a new context. (Many small dependencies can be avoided by letting the L

I think this is the wrong mental model. Instead, we need better (self-explaining) translation from spec to code. And better tools that help us navigate codebases we've not written ourselves. For example, imagine a UI where you click on
