Nor does it stop self-respecting LLMs.

What value is there in tested code when you have the option of superlative, flawless code?

LLMs write superior code. Maybe they learned from humans, but they have seen further while standing on those shoulders.

If the LLM writes better code (and it will) then its code should be favored over a library.

Why would you not?

It doesn’t mess up. Not any more.

> Everyone can treat the project as a black box, and focus on observable changes to the project's behavior. This is a good thing. I don’t need to focus on oil refineries when I fil…

Life is good.

Since the code does not matter , you wouldn’t need or want to phrase it in terms of algorithmic complexity. You surely would have a more real world requirement, like, if the data s…

If you have particular performance requirements like that, then include them. Test for them. You still don’t have to actually look at the code. Either the software meets expectatio…

And that is the right assumption. Why would any humans need (or even want) to look at code any more? That’s like saying you want to go manually inspect the oil refinery every time …

The code itself does not matter. If the tests pass, and the tests are good, then who cares? AI will be maintaining the code.

Nobody is saying to skip testing the software. Testing is still important. What the code itself looks like, isn’t.

And there was a time when using libraries and frameworks was the right thing to do, for that very reason. But LLMs have the equivalent of way more experience than any single progra…

I don’t understand the interest in “quality code.” I never need to look at the code itself. I just make sure it runs right.

Which LLM works best for Racket?

Why build software slower than possible? Do you just enjoy wasting people’s time?

Yes, but it would be bored.

Why do you think vibe code isn’t good enough for real products? Just so long as you have tests that show it functions as expected, why does it matter?

I thought it seemed like an especially good read!

Excellent! Humans can then spend their time on other activities, rather than get bogged down in the mundane.
