Yes, it’s fantastic. I have a post-tool-use hook for Claude Code to snapshot the repository for every edit. It’s like the built in file history feature but native in my VCS and works for my edits too. Don’t want to froth too much but JJ is

If I built a Mac app, the reason would be that I use a Mac, as do a lot of other people, and native apps are a lot more pleasant than non-native apps. I don't really understand why it's "restrictive"? There is no restric

Correct, I'm not making an argument on the quality of the evidence, I'm expressing a different opinion and explaining the disconnect. I'm not interested in convincing you as I don't think that will happen, but I did thin

I think the tweet is crystal clear evidence that “vibe coding” was meant to mean “LLM code generation without reviewing the generated code”. Plenty of other parent commenters in this thread clearly think the same. Think what you like, but y

No, people think it’s demeaning because they are using a different definition to you, the definition which was the original one. Don’t know how I can put it clearer.

The narrow term is very useful, there is obviously a world of difference between reviewing the output of an LLM and not - the latter is irresponsible. It shouldn’t be surprising that people bristle when being accused of it. It doesn’t make

I think the tweet is pretty clear on its intention for the definition and I’m not interested in arguing about it. I do think the dictionary definitions, such as they are, are coming from a real place: some people do use the more general def

There’s nothing stopping agents from composing MCP requests and responses, or from them writing programs to process the responses. MCP tools and resources are just as composable and programmable than any CLI - and more so than most because

Both you and the Collins dictionary (merely one dictionary, not an absolute anuthority) are retconning. “Vibe coding”, as originally coined in this tweet, means something more specific: to generate code with LLMs and not really look at the

Maybe my definition of “person” isn’t quite standard, but I did have otherkin in mind; to me, a person doesn’t have to be human to be a person. My cat is a feline person, or near enough, Commander Data is a (fictional!) person, etc. Practic

I've not heard of anyone not identifying as a person, and I thought I was aware of a good range of identities and subcultures. At least in the UK, using "an autistic" as a noun would have you be heard as someone older and out

I wasn't quoting you, they are scare quotes. It is a web app with a TypeScript and Go backend, but to call it a CRUD app would be misleading (despite the fact that yes once you boil it all down, everything is a CRUD operation) because

I’ve never heard that usage, it doesn’t sound right to me. (Relatedly, “an autistic” is generally considered dated / mildly offensive / just incorrect. Better is “an autistic person”, which makes it an adjective again. There does

TypeScript and Go on a 1.5 million SLOC production codebase; a complex SaaS tool for financial planning and analysis. Quite far from being “just CRUD”. Before Anthropic Opus 4.5 I was trying out Claude Code and wasn’t all that impressed, bu

Ok well I have plenty of serious, production-level professional experience that says otherwise. Not “vibe coding” - we certainly review the code. It’s a tool that has downsides and failure modes, of course, but it’s at the point where it’s

It does not ask for permission for every file read, only those outside the project and not explicitly allowed. You can bypass project edit permission requests with “allow edits”, no need for “dangerously skip permissions”. Bash commands are

Sex is “entirely binary”, except for the ways that it’s not, which you’re going to squeeze into your binary definitions? Scientists update their models and definitions when reality shows itself to be more complex than initially thought. In

“Maximising” windows full screen, apart from the genuinely-full-screen-takeover mode you can put windows in (where they take a virtual desktop slot too) has never been an idiomatic part of the Macintosh UI, since the beginning. The “zoom”

“Propped up” is putting it extremely lightly, to the extent that I wonder if you have a good enough grasp of the history.

by dwb 7mo ago
It’s bold to get presumptuously snooty about people’s understanding of history, and even mention the closeness of the Shah with the US, without acknowledging how the Shah came to power…! To say nothing of the US’s more recent interventions

I have found recent models to be quite respectable at Haskell, given a couple of initial nudges on style - but that’s true of anything.

Lojban allows you to be vastly more semantically ambiguous than English while still speaking technically correctly. A single predicate-word (“gismu”) is a valid utterance. For example, saying “tanxe” is so vague or context-dependent enough

Totally agree. I’ve see that quote used to justify wilfully ignoring basic performance techniques. Then people are surprised when the app is creaking exactly due to the lack of care taken earlier. I would tend to argue the other way most of

For some reason, this account posts little else. I don’t really get it.

I think this is anthropomorphising far too much. I’ve seen similar patterns, but the end result is still nothing that comes close to what you get from a human.
149.
by dwb 7mo ago
There are some similarities, but they are absolutely overwhelmed by the differences. Having a handful of superficial similarities is not enough to make draw a meaningful comparison. The act of teaching a human is very different from “traini

It changes the meaning significantly. An LLM has very little in common with a human student.
