Nor does it stop self-respecting LLMs.

What value is there in tested code when you have the option of superlative, flawless code?
3.
by feastingonslop 7mo ago
LLMs write superior code. Maybe they learned from humans, but they have seen further while standing on those shoulders.

If the LLM writes better code (and it will) then its code should be favored over a library.

Why would you not?

It doesn’t mess up. Not any more.

> Everyone can treat the project as a black box, and focus on observable changes to the project's behavior. This is a good thing. I don’t need to focus on oil refineries when I fill my car with gas. I don’t know how to run a refiner

Since the code does not matter , you wouldn’t need or want to phrase it in terms of algorithmic complexity. You surely would have a more real world requirement, like, if the data set has X elements then it should be processed within Y mill

If you have particular performance requirements like that, then include them. Test for them. You still don’t have to actually look at the code. Either the software meets expectations or it doesn’t, and keep having AI work at it until you’re

And that is the right assumption. Why would any humans need (or even want) to look at code any more? That’s like saying you want to go manually inspect the oil refinery every time you fill your car up with gas. Absurd.

The code itself does not matter. If the tests pass, and the tests are good, then who cares? AI will be maintaining the code.

Nobody is saying to skip testing the software. Testing is still important. What the code itself looks like, isn’t.

And there was a time when using libraries and frameworks was the right thing to do, for that very reason. But LLMs have the equivalent of way more experience than any single programmer, and can generate just the bit of code that you actuall

I don’t understand the interest in “quality code.” I never need to look at the code itself. I just make sure it runs right.

Which LLM works best for Racket?

Why build software slower than possible? Do you just enjoy wasting people’s time?
18.
by feastingonslop 8mo ago
Yes, but it would be bored.

Why do you think vibe code isn’t good enough for real products? Just so long as you have tests that show it functions as expected, why does it matter?

I thought it seemed like an especially good read!

Excellent! Humans can then spend their time on other activities, rather than get bogged down in the mundane.

It has been an excellent year. Looking forward to more in 2026!
