The problem is not that you get your dirty hands on the iPad. The problem is that you want real recipes. You know, things people have actually cooked and found to be good.

Is the project anything more than a (fairly elaborate I must recognize) 1 April joke? I agree with your point even on a more general level, amateur techies thinking to fix stuff which never needed fixing are nothing unusual. We "disrupt" the economy, the finances, housing and more, every day, while being barely legal and sometimes outright abusive to some part of the society, all in the name of the Saviour Technology. Is this just another example of "solutionism"? Or it's just me waking up grumpy and without coffee...
Edit: and right after this, I run into another AI-related gem: https://artificialintelligencemadesimple.substack.com/p/ai-t...

#114I think this needs a NSFW added to the title, on the first page at the moment there are at least 50% of NSFW recipes.

#115> using OpenAI's realtime API for voice-to-voice responses
Does it mean it use this expensive open ai audio model in the app? Don't you worry this will make it bankrupt if app goes viral and not monetised?
Can you share what's your strategy here, like topup $2000 open ai account as kind of marketing expenses for users to try for free? Genuine questions since planning to use openai audio API in other case and this kind of expensive price worry me a lot even if switching to new mini-transcribe and mini-tts

#116How does one learn to vibe code
By practice. It requires some skill too, to constantly remove slop and keep the project from deteriorating. Usually by suggesting good architecture, asking for tests, and rewriting / cleaning up some bad code endlessly. Still much faster than manual development.
But how exactly !

Vibe coders will be so busy solving the problem of making something work that they wont invest time into understanding the business problem at hand
Who cares if it solves a problem? Look how fast they made it! Bro it’s so easy! 20 minutes! Who needs to know how to code! Who needs skills? We just vibed it!!

#118Impressive! 35 kLOC is quite a bit. I wonder how straightforward and maintainable this app ended up to be. This would require taking a look at the sources. While good Rails code tends to be very terse, frontend may be quite voluminous. > I believe within a couple of months, when things like log tailing and automated testing and native version control get implemented This sounds a bit too optimistic, especially around…

I think people will have to recalibrate on this. The LOCs do things that you otherwise would not do. Features and details that simply would not happen — because they are too code/time intensive for most projects. It just won't matter anymore.
> But why would non-technical people would even think in terms of log tailing and version control
They won't! They won't have to. The obvious good stuff that everyone thinks the AI tool should be able do, will just work, because the people building the tools, will mostly obviously focus on making them work.

#119Amazing! Truly the frontier of technology. Now imagine if every recipe was an NFT, stored in the blockchain!!

#120Earlier quoted context omitted.
The LLM swaps out business logic without you knowing it? As someone who worries about determinism and doesn’t do much vibe coding, I am curious what’s going on here, thanks!
Absolutely, very often. It typically happens because it's trying to do more than you asked for. Example scenario: you have a codebase that you iterated on with LLM, and it contains let's say 15 features with various implementation details. You continue tomorrow and want to make a small change to handle an edge-case. While making changes to one of the 3 required files, suddenly it will decide to also rewrite / "improv…
I experienced this, too. It is quite annoying. You have to explicitly tell the LLM to leave everything else as-is.
