can't code you vibe excellence
You mean I can't just add "in the style of jb55" to my system prompt?
Vibe coding never works for me because I keep asking for "A VM for distributed workloads on a p2p network with built-in checkpointing, and end to end encryption."
vibe code is for MVPs and getting the point across
Not even an MVP, but maybe a prototype.
you can start simple
LNFly
Minimum vibeable product lol
Fun fact. I got a few AI-made PRs on another private project I sometimes help on and those were better than any human I have ever seen. They are not using public AI tooling though. What's coming it going to shred developers apart.
Oh, I don't doubt that.
But we're not there, yet.
But can you excel at vibe coding?
only marginally
Why do people mean by vibe coding? Asking for a working prototype or just using LLMs as better Google?
using AI to code everything
Good thing I'm not a developer, or I'd be nervous. 😁
To believe you can code “excellence” at all, within which is an imperfect system is funny.
Lol I'm only just as a better Google and I constantly get annoyed when I don't provide too much context. I don't know how people get away with abusing of vibe coding.
I am only not nervous because I already accepted that nothing I made will survive this. Absolutely nothing.
But @ODELL disagrees. So there is hope for the legacy devs.
you wouldn't have even started if you saw the progression i saw on android between 2010 and 2020
I code for Android since 2008. I did see all that :)
so your surprise is fake
? I am not surprised.
🤔 You are underestimating how humans solve for the problem of choice in a massive surplus.
Amethyst is a brand and users can talk to you about it. People will keep using whichever software is marketed under that brand, regardless of how it is built.
there is definitely excellence in software: sqlite, wireguard, tigerbeetle, strfry, core-lightning, and lots more.
as someone with nobody backing me up to do the work i laugh because you obviously had someone backing you up. i don't think you appreciate how lucky you were.
but you also are hilarious for not realising the gravy train was gonna derail on you at some point not too far ahead.
I agree. But new brands will show up. And they don't need to code. They can focus entirely on the brand. If they do that well, they will destroy us.
your case was exceptional. you do realise that don't you?
i mean, custom roms on android shrank down to only google pixels by 2021
i remember when samsung devices could run cyanogenmod. i owned one of the earliest OLED display phones back in 2010
Being lindy can take you a long way, but we'll see.
Not at the beginning. I closed my company (and a huge salary) and did Amethyst for 6 months before any money showed up. But I also didn't need any money to get a huge number of users. It was purely a bootstrapped project. I only got money from OpenSats after Amethyst was already massive.
> but you also are hilarious for not realising the gravy train was gonna derail on you at some point not too far ahead.
My man, I thought Amethyst would die last year. That either Primal, Yana, Voyage, Nosotros would take our place. I am already living in extended time. I have been ready for the train for a while.
gn!
not even friday and everything is loopy
On the other hand you CAN piss excellence. I.e. Ricky Bobby
I expect we'll see a fast fashion effect in software. I'm pretty sure Microsoft is already playing with these concepts. Their engineers design APIs and interfaces, and AI rapidly generated frontends for the end user on a per-need basis.
Of course, since fast fashion took over clothing, we've seen niches open up for bespoke artisan brands that make products meant to last longer than the current hype cycle.
I think software engineers have to prepare for both outcomes. We need to both zoom out and focus on APIs, interfaces, and big-picture system design, and we need to hone our craft to fill the artisan niches as they open up.
am I missing something or the last amethyst release was many months ago?
lol
that should be easy if you use mkstack
You wouldn’t steal a car… you wouldn’t vibe code an excellence

I did. proof on yt, thx. I used Damus twice

How do you use llms in your coding? What point of llm integration is admissible then?
TRUTH
you also can't vibe code professional athletes. 😂
....and i was just reading that sqlite is getting rewritten in rust.
Introducing Limbo: A complete rewrite of SQLite in Rust
we forked SQLite with the libSQL project. What would it be like if we just rewrote it?
