alt Hacker NewsI resent your implication that I am baselessly hyping. I've open sourced a few Opus 4.5-coded projects (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46543359) (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46682115) that while not moderate-to-large projects, are very niche and novel without much if any prior art. The prompts I used are included with each those projects: they did not "run and look fine" on first run, and were refined just as with normal software engineering pipelines.
You might argue I'm No True Engineer because these aren't serious projects but I'd argue most successful uses of agentic coding aren't by FANG coders.
First, very cool! Thank you for sharing some actual projects with the prompts logged.
I think you and I have different definitions of “one-shotting”. If the model has to be steered, I don’t consider that a one-shot.
And you clearly “broke” the model a few times based on your prompt log where the model was unable to solve the problem given with the spec.
Honestly, your experience in these repos matches my daily experience with these models almost exactly.
I want to see good/interesting work where the model is going off and doing its thing for multiple hours without supervision.
