Why I still don't fully believe in vibe coding: Even the frontier models are constantly wrong!

Claude says c# structs with LayoutKind.Auto can have differing layout for each usage or JIT compilation. ChatGPT says they can't (and that's what I assume is true)

Claude says to "Multiply by a large prime", 0x9e3779b97f4a7c15
...That's NOT a prime!

AI generated code looks really convincing but they always make these little mistakes. And even if you inspect the AI code yourself (which let's be honest, we're all too lazy for that :P), will you be able to spot these? I really doubt it

Yeah, basically that‘s my rule of thumb for using AI:
If it being wrong wouldn’t be that big of a deal, go for it. Otherwise stay the fuck away.

Sometimes it makes mistakes, but when it doesn't, it generates MONTHS of work in better quality than you would write yourself if you instruct it well. Type annotations everywhere!

@Lensflare well, in 95% of things what you do for a living is being wrong not that big of a deal when it happens I guess, so go for it!

But seriously people, people are vibing complete distro's with it. It's not the AI being bad. Its the user not taking it serious.

You can buy a high quality slack mvp using your favorite tech and preferences within a day including CI and documentation for contributors and users. Before AI, I didn't do docs. Now it became one of my favo things. Projects are more finished than ever. Even when I write something myself, at the end it will go trough AI for finishing touch, without exception.

@12bitfloat I barely review my AI code anymore. I know the models so well, I know what they did.

Well... just remember that you could be an outlier in this whole thing... also, the docs could be wrong, or incomplete... like, for example, one of your dwn manuals directed to something generic like 'git clone https://www.my_company.com/my_repo' or something similar...

Haven't tried Claude, but with Kiro it feels like instructing a team of newly graduates. But instead of it taking a weak to get result I barely have time for a coffee before they are done. And I can pint out the faults and get them going again.
