I think remember you said in one episode you didn't want to run ads in the podcast so you could talk about anything you want, but most of the episodes are about one of historical events. Do you really think the sponsors would try to alter your content. Personally I wouldn't mind 1 or 2 ad spots in the episodes.

What happens if you just keep vibe coding is? Does it whack-a-mole fix one area and break another?

2 months ago: no limits. 1 month ago we had a leaderboard for whoever had the highest token spend not taking into account what was actually produced. This week: “everyone is using opus too much, just use it for planning.”

yup, the standard way of thinking about agents seems backwards and probably costly. Use LLMs to write scripts, then stick all your scripts in your own looping harness and call out for LLMs for those parts that are too hard to automate with some deterministic validation at the end.

Can you describe how you work in this higher level? Sounds like scratches a similar itch that traditional programming offers.

When reading this I immediately thought of them. Anyone I know who plays an instrument said their socials are flooded with them.

Are they admitting they may be enslaving conscious beings?

Yup, strange to see people still don’t understand LLMs massively speed up coding greenfield pet projects. Anytime you see a bee web app it’s better to assume AI use rather than not anymore.

It actually gives you warning in an overlay first that the favicon would change if you open a new tab. I did and I got "zuckerberg nudes"

The executives are, not the devs.

Yup, and we arr wasting our weekends worried about keeping pace in an imagined red queen's race. Another similar post today.

they fantasize about unpaid interns writing specs and nobody ever needed to look at the code in a few years
