> Especially if you are looking for where the fun is, the idiosyncrasies of your own engine gives you a world with it's own flavour if you incorporate that flavour into your design process you could create a feedback loop that turns into something special.
I loved the old STALKER games, and the wackiness of their engines was a lot of the charm. I ended up buying the new one out of nostalgic dedication and it's probably the worst example of "Unreal slop" I've experienced, having not bought many newer games. I'm sure the butchers running Xbox have run the numbers and think they'll make even more money throwing armies of contractors with allegedly fungible skills at the next Doom games, but I'll leave others to bankroll that while I enjoy games I don't need frame generation for.
Counter question: where's the useful production-grade software that's been made entirely with "agent swarms"?
Personally, I don't think useful business problems can be solved entirely with LLM loops. If you choose not to pay others to handle part of that then it's all on you.
"I am eighteen years old, have a good set of passkeys, and believe in Sam Altman, the star-spangled banner, and the fourth of July. I have taken up a BLM lot, cleared up eighteen acres last year, and placed top of it a bitcoin mine. My vibe coded drop-shipping startup looks first-rate, and the conversion rate and total addressable market are bully.
I would be very surprised to see any "make it safe" solution that does not render these models useless for programming. I assume posts like this are mostly clout-motivated, but I really dislike the implied vision for what LLMs should offer here.
I'd be really happy to come across this in a project I were interested in. So much hobby OSS is infested with slop that I don't even want to skim the code if I pick up a hint that there's no humans at the wheel.
Stars are a really bad metric for quality/popularity but they're something here. I think some sort of impact score when combined with repo age, # contributors, etc would be pretty valuable.
I worry the sort of core classes that are in massive lecture halls (and everyone remembers hating) would be more of a "blind leading the blind" situation if run like this. Maybe not with lavish funding and small classes. I had a couple classes like you describe, but they were on specific topics I was very interested in near the end of my undergrad program.
I'm sure investors thought one or two of the ISPs laying all that fiber would be collecting fat rents on them until the sun burnt out. I'm glad they got so much in the ground before there was a reckoning. I hope this industry ships more very expensive models, ASAP.
You aren't ready to get that job until you've truly accepted your role as a genderless machine that turns salary into personal validation for the hiring manager.
I never thought I'd defend Electron, but I'd rather use the bloated web UI than a vibe coded Qt/GTK version I'm positive will not have seen any human QA.
> zero signal: resume & cover letter. applicants will mass-apply with ai-tuned resumes that happen to perfectly match our listing
How often do you interview candidates with bad or mediocre resumes, though? My impression is that a perfectly tuned (and almost certainly dishonest) resume is just table stakes now.
That is interesting. Half a year is not nothing and I expect it's harder to keep a project functioning when the base is vibe coded rather than having mature abstractions and architecture already.
I am still skeptical on this method's ability to deliver polished products though. I've kept an eye out on it in the OSS world and don't think I've seen big anything yet.
I'm just a petty conspiracy theorist, but my assumption is their use of Persona was part of "the deal" they've been encouraged to make, and what you're seeing is a company being brought to heel.
I'm always curious when I see these stories. How long have you been doing this, for what sort of work, and was the codebase mature before you began working like this?
I think email is a pretty poor example of decentralization in the modern internet. I pay a company to not have to worry about hosting my own and I've still had emails blackholed by the massive providers for unknown reasons I can only assume are some combination of the custom domain* and the provider. I went back to using Gmail on my resume and for applications after nearly missing out on an interview because of it.
I haven't used Mastodon, but my experience with Lemmy was a lot of petty fighting about who should be defederated. The OP's reference to warring fiefdoms was very spot-on for that scene. I imagine it's a huge turn off to casual, well-adjusted people exploring the space. But I wouldn't know.
There's, of course, another sort of grossness to corporate moderation from above, but at least with ATProto you can take your identity and content to another AppView, if it wasn't shown there already. AFAIK, any fediverse migration tooling requires a cooperative host server you haven't already been banned from.
Is the idea that we're just one OTA update from them turning into bombs? Considering the quality of software in the auto industry, I would be about as worried about any domestically assembled EV.
