I vibe coded (🤮) unit tests yesterday for the feature I’ve been working on for the last couple of weeks. It mostly worked OK but enforced my view of not using the AI tools for more than fancy autocomplete, naming and code review. The stuff it wrote runs and does what it should but lacks an elegance I aspire to in shipping code. Also doubt it’s maintainable by anything other than LLMs.

Feel bad for future development on projects that use this stuff for actual code.

Exactly: “my view of not using the AI tools for more than fancy autocomplete, naming and code review”. Now I just need a working setup for “Github Copilot” like autocompletes for Sublime Text using local (Ollama, LM Studio, exo…) based models with context (and don’t mention VS please).

    @NanoRaptor First thought this was about shades of beige.

    gotta say, douglas adams prepared me better for our absurd future than isaac asimov. like, spending hours explaining to a replicator AI how to make an excellent cup of tea, only to have the AI then lock up 100% of the ships computers resources mid-battle as it tries to comply with the request, that does seem like an increasingly more plausible scenario than a scientist planning a techno cult centuries in advance to prevent a great calamity
