If I may ask, does the code produced by LLM follow best practices or patterns? What mental model do you use to understand or comprehend your codebase? Please know that I am asking as I am curious and do not intend to be disrespectful.

Gemini's large context window is incredible. I concatenate the my entire repo and repos of supporting libraries and then ask it questions. My last use case was like this : I had a old codebase code that was using bakbone.js for ui wit

Yes the cost of building software dropped by 90%. However, the cost of software maintenance went up by 1000% . Lets hope you don't need to ever add a new business rule or user interface to your vibe coded software.

BS. I grew up in Delhi. We used to have a large open space where I and neighborhood kids used to play cricket . Eventually the whole area converted to slums with people from Bangladesh. They took over the whole area. I was too young to care
