#242> It now includes a fully interactive voice assistant so you don't need to get your dirty hands over your new iPad when you're cooking. Always floored about the problems people think need fixing. 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. With real photos of how the result actually looks (i…
I don't know why everyone is so salty. It's like putting "vibecode" in the headline attracted the worst in people. For context, I'm not a cooking geek or virtuoso. I enjoy it to some degree, but mostly it's just about having a nice, nutritious experience, in line with whatever my mood might be. I only ever measure things super accurately when I'm baking things in the bread maker (because it doesn't let you make corre…
You should be able to do this yourself easily, though.

#244What is "vibecoded" supposed to mean?
See https://twitter.com/karpathy/status/1886192184808149383 for when it was coined by Andrei Karpathy. I've written more about it here: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/19/vibe-coding/ and here: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/23/semantic-diffusion/
But I really detest the ever-growing universe of unnecessarily obscure slang. It's not clever and not informative. Good slang is akin to a word that you can figure out from its Latin origins; it makes sense, might be clever, and you can figure it out if you think about it.
This is just douchey.

#246Help! 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!

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…

Seriously, what's with this thread? I'd rather not have a discussion in this base tone.
You're on a discussion forum. Where you express your opinion. Then the other party expresses their opinion. That's what makes this discussion forum great. Sometimes the opinions of the other party aren't going to agree with yours. It's a normal part of discourse on online forums.

#249That is nice actually. Recipe sites are so annoying where I have to scroll for an hour to see the ingredients. Thanks!
I never wonder about downvotes (and we are not supposed to ask) but why? Downvoted for a compliment.

Seriouseats, Epicurious, Bonappetit, or anything with Kenji Lopez-Alt (for always going the distance in methodically and empirically testing all variations of whatever he is evaluating/developing). If you want something in the short form video era, I do appreciate Andy Hearnden (andycooks) as he is both concise, consistent and always posts the full recipe in the video descriptions (all too rare).
+1 for Serious Eats. I also like NYT cooking. I do not like Bon Appetit, I find most of their recipes to not turn out well.
