The good news here is that their code is of such a poor quality it doesn't properly work anyway. I have recently tried to blindly create a small .dylib consolidation tool in JS using Claude Code, Opus 4.5 and AskUserTool to create a d

vibecoding != AI. For example: I'm a senior dev, I use AI extensively but I fully understand and vet every single line of code I push. No exceptions. Not even in tests.

Same experience. The better the model the more complicated are the bugs and brain damages it introduces. Perhaps one has to be skilled programmer in the first place to spot the problems, which is not easy when the program runs apparently. T

Yes, this experience is unlike most people. Perhaps the problem is that most people are satisfied by the appearance of a working app despite it not working at all. Say, the first tool I was doing, did actually not recurse into subdirs wit

So I decided to try the revered hands-off approach and have Claude Code create me a small tool in JS for *.dylib bundle consolidation on macOS. I have used AskUserQuestionTool to complete my initial spec. And then Opus 4.5 created the tool

Well... I see your point and I kind of agree with it. Still let this be my personal rebellion. I will still call it Twitter.

by egorfine 10mo ago
Why would I call Twitter something else?

For some sites and businesses that's the right approach. For some.

Alright So I'm fully expecting that companies like Visa and Mastercard to promptly exit US market, for the EU to stop issuing visas to US citizens and harsh sanctions on the US economy by the EU. Right? Right?
