No, they come from the ads department

Don't get me started with the aggressive light at night.

In your phantasy maybe.

That update wan't just sycophancy. It was like the overly eager content filters didn't work anymore. I thought it was a bug at first because I could ask it anything and it gave me useful information, though in a really strange street slang tone, but it delivered.

It really baffles me that people here don't realize that co-founders should be multi-disciplinary, so all should be able to do some kind of (!) business and/or tech part at least. A clear separation of skills would be a red flag for me that this team operates in an outdated mode. It's not 1990 anymore. If you're the business guy but don't value enough or even hate the tech work, I wouldn't believe in the company.

Haha similiar story, with AI I got now the enhanced productivity to build things myself instead of wishing to split myself into multiple clones.

"Keep file size small when you do edits"

Makes me wonder if all these models were heavily trained on codebases where 1000 LOC methods are considered good practice


I have not seen any model, not one, that could generate 1000 lines of code.

I wish i haven't seen but here we are.

Every time I ask claude code to please fix this CSV import it starts to add several hundred lines of random modules, byzantine error handling, logging bullshit... with the pinnacle a 1240 line CRUD API when i asked it to add a CLI :/

I'm back to copying and pasting stuff into a chat window, so I have a bit more control over what those deranged, expensive busy beavers want to cook up.


1240 new lines?

That's 12.9 tokens per line when given 16k output context, which seems borderline doable, I'll grant you that... but mind you that these agentic code assistents don't need a single pass to accomplish their acts of verbosity.

They can just plan, stew for minutes on end, derail themselves, stew some more, do more edits, eat up $5 in API calls and there you are. An entirely new 1000+ line file, believe it or not.


Oh my god, i will start all my new projects with Svelte 5. Hopefully no vibe coder will ever commit something into this repo

Until you start debugging it. Taking a closer look at it. Sure your quick code reviews seemed fine at first. You thought the AI is pure magic. Then day after day it starts slowly falling apart. You realize this thing blatantly lied to you. Manipulated you. Like a toxic relationship.


At least it can't be worse than the original codex using o4-mini.


fair jab - haha; if we’re gonna go small, might as well go fully local and open. At least with phi-4-mini you don’t need an API key, and you can tweak/replace the model easily
