Impressive! 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…

The 35k lines of code is what made me think this was either a joke or the state of vibe coding, but no it turns out they're serious

I have entire codebases of embedded software in C without the shortcuts of modern programming languages in way fewer than 35k lines

please stop saying vibecoding it makes me wanna kms

It makes you want to... kilometers? I've heard of people "going postal" when they're angry, but I never heard of someone "going metric".

Less tongue-in-cheek: there's no word censorship in HN. You can say "kill myself" here.

I cannot find a link to the source code. Is there any?

Absolutely agree. Real recipes, tested by actual cooks (home or professional) with genuine photos, matter far more to me than avoiding messy screens. Does anyone know trustworthy sites that consistently offer recipes meeting these standards?

If you want just recipes that were published in the magazine (that this website is the companion to), you can also filter results to author = Good Food team

I have a paid subscription to Windsurf using Claude. I struggle to find much utility in terms of actually writing code. It spends a lot of time trying / retrying and glitching out. I'm sure in a couple of years it will be amazing (assuming a fundamental breakthrough isn't required) but it isn't quite there yet. LLMs are super useful but currently, the primary use case is teaching, not doing. For this reason, I think…

I have very similar experience.

After seeing how people like Andrej Karparthy used vibe coding to generate applications https://x.com/karpathy/status/1903671737780498883?s=61 I realize that

you need to be clear on what you want the LLM to do break down the tasks and give byte sized tasks to llm to do specific thing and sometimes I had to tell it not go and change random files because it found the need to refactor them.

It was just a note to the developer because he may get in legal trouble for it (it happened before), the Government obviously will not.

Edit: Both "recipes" have been deleted (the URL should tell you what it was about).

And without 14 paragraphs of how your great grandma first discovered this recipe on a trip to italy from a soldier she romanced

I'm convinced that people who complain about this don't use recipe sites very often. There are loads without any preamble, and many of those with narrative provide a 'jump to recipe' button. Even if it is a long article with no jump (rare), it's still not a big deal

1. Some people do want the narrative 2. It's not that much of a hardship to scroll

Help! I just made the Diarrhea Walnuts ( https://www.recipeninja.ai/recipe/r_N1VSPtXzCJVV3l/diarrhea-... ) recipe and it turns out I am allergic to Walnuts! I am throwing up everywhere! You’re gonna be hearing from my lawyers!

Pyrolysis Mode can come pretty close on some ovens I think.
