Senpai has taken the words out of my mouth and put them on the page.

That's true for a junior engineer, but the more senior engineers should be given a view into the organization's priorities and business challenges.

I have this set up on my blog www.ashwinmenon.com

You can inspect and see the JS. There are a few others doing this too!

Yes, vibe coding is SO good for allowing programmers to write those scripts that would have been too tedious to do pre-2022.

Getting users is the real challenge unfortunately! I'm experiencing the same with my trivia app.

It's hard to know whether the blame should lie with the friend or YouTube

Which LLM does this use? I'm guessing this sends client data to 3P servers?

How do you get that nice UI?

I've found that one of the best use-cases is to create simple tools. Similar to what simonw does. I've done so here: https://www.ashwinmenon.com/clean_logs/ or more descriptively here: https://www.ashwinmenon.com/posts/thoughts/2025-12-04-are-we... (at the bottom). LLMs are really good at coming up with code from scratch, and getting a lot of the boilerplate out of the way. If you want changes though, it helps to be a programmer and be familiar with the stack.

I've also created a more real "app" at https://www.hunchle.com, which is a trivia app. It was a real challenge since LLMs hallucinate all over the place, and given labs are benchmaxxing, it gives me a real good idea for how good LLMs really are.

He's a complicated figure. He has done so much good as well. EVs in the US and reusable rockets owe a lot to him. OTOH, so does the cesspool that is X.

It's because of selection bias. In the older vehicles, customers won't turn on autopilot if they think it won't handle the situation. So, they turn it on highways and easier paths.

Gukesh, the current world champion, did not use engines for analysis until very late. I think until after he became a GM.

I found it interesting how concrete Casey gets, and how he quickly identified the cause of the UI bug (+ a mitigation). Meanwhile, it looks like Bob was speculating in thin air and throwing out random terms (O(n^2)) trying to fit in.
