There’s a huge difference between does it work vs is it elegant.

As a software engineer I have been strict on making sure my code is elegant.

Vibe coding has switched me to product (and project) manager. Why would I care about what the code looks like? Does it work!? Does it do what I want? Does the app have the right UI and UX? These are my concerns now. I rarely look at the output code.

I love this! Such a simple game with a fun level of skill. High score 17485 feels pretty good (edit: Oh! Low power mode on the computer makes the game run slow, thus much easier to get crazy high scores).

Reminds me of SFCave and Nanana Crash for the simplicity and surprising replay ability.

> software specs are often an order of magnitude simpler than the actual number of branches in the code

Love this! Be it design specs or a mock from the designer. So many unaccounted for decisions. Good devs will solve many on their own, uplevel when needed, and provide options.

And absolutely it means more design up front. And without human in the direct loop, maybe people won’t skimp on this!

If I had a human assistant, I'd ask them to book my flight. The chat box is your window to your AI assistant. Maybe this new assistant hasn't earned your trust yet, but it makes sense that trust-aside, you'd ask your assistant to do whatever they could do for you.

Only off by one character, how hard could that be?

My images say "Created with DALLE" below them, and a little info icon tells me they are rolling out the new one soon.

The examples they show have little captions that say "best of #", like "best of 8" or "best of 4". Hopefully that truly represents the odds of generating the level of quality shown.

This isn’t a DST issue. Start school later.
