It's not the vibe coding, it's the lack of tests

And I think human written tests at that. If the LLM is blind to the failure mode X, does it know to reliably write a test to evaluate the behavior of X?

wow. there are actually no tests here.

MS todo app, or any number of others. Added benefit of not needing telegram

I've been using my TODO program since 2009. It's heavily customized for my needs. I'm not going to change it.

Those classic 4 horned unicorns...

Antigravity has become near unusable too for the last week with Opus. Continual capacity alerts meaning tasks stop running.

Not worth the money now, will be canceling unless fixed soon.


The correct answer is to answer the question you wanted them to ask, "I'm looking for $x"

No lie, skirt the irrelevant info


Not true. As long as you don't blindly accept their garbage and keep things behind sensible interfaces so you can reimplement if necessary, and have good tests you're fine

It's not that difficult. You get it to work on one deep problem, then another does more trivial bug fixes/optimizations, etc. Maybe in another you're architecting the next complex feature, another fixes tests, etc etc

c) It's turnkey instead of requiring months/years of custom dev and on-going maintenance.

I literally ran out of tokens on the antigravity top plan after 4 new questions the other day (opus). Total scam. Not impressed.

Lol. How do you function in daily life?


Same as you, why is that so hard for you to grasp?


My dude, you're objecting to the use of a perfectly ordinary English idiom because it doesn't advance your personal ideology (which few other people in this world share with you.) How do you get through a day without melting down because somebody said "mailman"?


> my dude

This is the problem I'm trying to highlight. For one, I'm not "your dude". I don't even know you like that.

If you want to correct me on the idiom usage, be my guest. 2) Mailman and yes-man aren't even the same logical comparison. Mailman is a profession. Yes men is a label.

The acoustics inside your head must be incredible.


Chill bro. You've probably got undiagnosed autism. Worth getting checked out.
