Not all "vibe coding" is created equal

Sean Goedecke: LLMs reward expertise the idea here — that domain knowledge makes you better at using LLMs — is something I’ve also experienced in my own work. If you have a good theory of your codebase, you can push the LLM much harder than if you have no familiarity. Because

lmao, no

Fable just said "setting the variable explicitly...is optional belt-and-suspenders" Brother...what?

The fact that 600 people have opted in to listen to me prattle on about nothing is astounding Thanks for hanging out!

So, you know how I talk about how uninformed anti-AI discourse is genuinely harmful to the anti-AI cause? Yeah...this is that same thing but the other way around The pro-AI equivalent of "It's just fancy autocomplete" and "only stupid and lazy people who don't know better use it"

Hello, World https://skej.at

Let's see if Fable cooperates better, I admittedly haven't used this model that much

I was just working with Opus 5 and it was so tedious and largely unhelpful, it got the task done, but it needed way more coaching for validation Then I swapped over to GPT-5.6 Sol and I can just kinda do a bit of back and forth and then just let it run for 30+ mins at a time without an issue

So really it seems the point we've landed on is that you disagree with what's worth blogging about? Because, trust me, I've got a pretty low bar for what's worth blogging about. Like literally on the floor worth blogging about. It's really just a bluesky post with more than 300 chars

Apparently, there's a user going around on ATStore one starring any app that doesn't have a native app for Android (and apparently Windows??) Platform wars aside...that's not a review of the app, but go off, sis

I'm really starting to enjoy the usability of @thesocialwire.app I'm a person who will sometimes forget to go and check the news for a few days and come back to potentially hundreds of unread articles That kind of thing can get annoying when you're trying to make the app performant
