> A sanctuary from AI and vibe coding, focused on human engineering

Big fan of this project for this reason alone. I hope over the next few years we'll see this more and more not just as an implementation detail, but a public branding sentiment that like-minded coders, consumers or even (if we're living in fantasy-land) business clients can rally behind.

Thank you. I’d love to spend some time studying the codebases of projects I admire like sqlite, luajit, or whatever Fabrice Bellard has a hand in, and try to find something interesting about them to share with everyone through CodeMic. There's so much to learn from human engineers of that caliber.

This is a trap. If you don't have control over your code you dont have control over the product. Someone, somewhere in the stack needs to understand how everything works.

So you know every line of code in every framework/library/sdk you use! wow

No but someone does. If something goes wrong, someone would be able to debug and fix it.

Somewhat related (and seems like a lot of folks don't know about) is VS Code's "Code Tour" feature: https://github.com/microsoft/codetour

The best part is the ability to easily edit, delete, and re-order "tour points".

Tours can either be checked into the repo or exported to a "tour file" to allows anyone to replay the same tour (without having to clone any code to do it!)

Indeed, his name is Claude

I love using AI tooling but I'm not convinced it's safe to use straight to binary until we have 100% deterministic outputs from it.

Would two great developers produce the same output given a spec, probably not. The spec and validation would be part of the solution. The code can be different each time.

That's a great idea; a good chunk of interesting software design discussion has been crowded out by "here's how to better beg the machine to do the right thing", rather than discussing amongst ourselves what the "right thing" even is in various circumstances.
