just want to remind HN that it was as little as a year when I mentioned I used LLMs to do all my coding, totally hands off and people here found it a curiosity. One year later and its madness to even contemplate coding manually.
Im not complaining Im just pointing out how quickly the overton window is shifting.
Hey will you share your workflow and how you get LLMs to build correct things for you (or inspite of you)?
> One year later and its madness to even contemplate coding manually...
Seriously, why do people assume that what they feel should be how everyone else should be feeling?
How are you handling all the errors that are hidden in code you can not understand?
You give it time....the same way Technical debt is code you chose not to clean up....your Vibe Debt for code you never understood in the first place... will come through.
I am sure it’s all so good that these incidents should not take more than 5 minutes to resolve. Don’t get me wrong, I am one of the people who would look at you suspiciously a year ago and only in the last year “saw the light”. You were ahead. But that doesn’t mean that at some point you will not overshoot. What we witness today we haven’t witnessed in some time. People also made horrible software but they enriched it with hole plugging hacks that made it run, mostly. AI may build better software but who is plugging the holes. At least today no one. In 1 or 5 years maybe AI. In the meantime, we need to plug some holes and they are not as easy to spot when we are not the ones who left them there.
Madness? I didn't think we'd gone that far...
So either I am mad or you are all mad, time will tell
"Overton window"? It's just developers being obtuse, short-sighted and slow.
It was obvious in 2023 and it is obvious now yet we still have people in denial even today. These people need AI to take over the world and threatening them with eternal suffering before they will change their minds even a bit.

It's not the overton window, it's the capabilities of the models that have changed significantly in 1 year.
