I did a random spot-check of some of the code, like https://github.com/AprilNEA/OpenLogi/blob/master/crates/open... and it seems... fine? SO MANY comments, but that seems pretty standard for LLM cod

I think this is correct. When I was coming up in software engineering, it was fairly accepted that the "bus factor" of a project should only increase. Any kind of vibe coding makes that bus factor exactly one... and if a service g

For what it's worth, AI has been running major market, corporate radio stations for at least 20 years now. When I left the industry they already had AudioVault or Prophet or some other systems that would pull all the songs and distribu

Looking at the code ( https://github.com/davmlaw/uBlock/commit/fa2de61ae69927591db... ), there's not much I would do differently writing by hand. It breaks some formatting/style conventions from the r

Exactly. I had a manager who said "Standup with start exactly on time", and stuck to it. And after a couple of meetings with some people coming in a minute or two late and realizing he was for real... everyone started showing up o

I've seen a few other comments also talk about PHP becoming more complex. However, I have "simple" code built using 5.3 and it works perfectly fine in 8. So I guess it CAN be complex, but doesn't really need to be. The b

It feels like it's taking a solved problem and formalizing it, with a bit of automation. I've used MCPs that were just fancy document search, and this should replace those.

This is an interesting thought. I also wonder if Houston is "helped" by the fact that they're a blue city in a red state... that kind of ideological conflict of governance requires unique and localized solutions. Whereas SF i

This post (aside from the title) is fairly nuanced, with the reality that "let an LLM do all the things" is going to be fraught with problems... but "let an LLM do some very specific things that saves me an hour or so from bo

Remember FriendFeed? It was unironically a pretty cool thing. Subscribe to RSS feeds, displayed in a Twitter-like timeline, and could comment and share and follow people and see their feeds... and all of that had their own RSS feeds. The c

I think this is generally true, and there are SO MANY blog posts and articles. Using something like Claude Code to build an entire SaaS from nothing can seem like magic, but there is still a point where the code is too big and any LLM will

Very nice. I tried with Ollama and it works well. The biggest issue is having the Ollama models hardcoded to Qwen3 and Llama 3.1. I imagine most Ollama users have their favorites, and probably vary quite a bit. My main model is usually Gemm
