Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

You have to know what an AI can and can't do to effectively use AI.
Finding bugs is on of the worst things to "vibe code": LLM can't debug programs (at least as far as I know) and if the repository is bigger than the context window they can't even get a overview of the whole project. LLMs only can run the program and guess what the error is based on the error messages and user input. They can't even control most programs.
I'm not surprised by the results, but it's hardly a fair assessment of the usefulness of AI.
Also I would prefer to wait for the LLM and see if it can fix the bug than hunt for bugs myself - hell, I could solve other problems while waiting for the LLM to finish. If it's successful great, if not I can do it myself.
Hey tech bro! how much money did you loose on NFTs? 😂
It may be hard to believe but I am not a 'tech bro'. Never traded crypto or NFTs. My workplace doesn't even allow me to use any LLMs. As a software developer that's a bit limiting but I don't mind.
But in my own time I have dabbled with AI and 'vibe coding' to see what the fuss is all about. Is it the co-programmer AI bros promise to the masses? No, or at least not currently. But useful non the less if you know what you do.
aww, is the widdle deweloper mad it can’t go pollutin’ the codebase it has to work with others on?
What's with the name calling? Was any of my arguments wrong or am I just supposed to switch off my brain follow the group-think?
it doesn’t appear you’re tall enough for this ride
Bwahahahah you are in the group that is switching your brains off in favour of automated group-thinking 😂
oh fuck off
