Great effort, thanks for that. But do we still trust the open source software that is created now everything is vibe coded? Recently there was a thread about Chatto [1], a Slack replacement completely vibe coded by one person. It works and

There are trade-offs, but there huge differences in quality between say a Michelin or Pirelli and a cheap Chinese brand.

Currently the bad quality of architecture and holistic view of models is probably explained by the fact that the models just cannot do it. Free markets and China will make sure of that, kind of. In reality Claude and Codex are better and pr

> I don't think this clear lack of ability is some conspiracy. Maybe currently not. But we will never be able to know, as models are undeterministic and benchmarks are kind of scams. When you cannot prove that something gets worse,

No surprise, LLM companies optimize for waste. More tokens, and more prompts means more revenue. Reminds of Google’s Prabhakar Raghavan story: deliberately making search worse [1] [1]: https://pluralistic.net/2024/04&#x

You shouldn’t use ORM entities as domain models. The domain should not depend on anything from the integration layer (db entities, REST request/ response, etc). Ideally models are generated from SQL schemas, which you map to domain mod

I think saying no is more important now with AI, as features can be built so quickly now. But there are a lot more costs after the feature has been built. Mostly with AI the code isn’t understood that well, wich incurs a cognitive debt. The

Code is a liability. Saying no is because the engineer wants to reduce complexity, not because she/ he is so subjectively “obsessed” with code quality. The term “quality” is nowadays misunderstood by management. It means the right amou
