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!

For anyone saddened by the recipe being removed: https://web.archive.org/web/20250402064135/https://www.recip...

Thanks, I wanted to give it a try. Today is a good day to cook.

The only obvious problem here is showing all of them publicly. Let people do silly things but only show the sensible ones instead of being user hostile by default with false positives

Leaving them public has the advantage that no one will think the site is serious, which will help them avoid the recipes that look okay but are poisonous.

A wrong fixing another wrong lol

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…

Yeah, without trying to be dismissive I'm a bit unsure where the 35kLOC are going?

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…

Full Disclosure: I'm building a LLM chat app for software developers and domain experts > I struggle to find much utility in terms of actually writing code. I personally feel you need to give up some control and just let the LLM do its thing if you want to use it to help you build. It honestly does a lot of things in a more verbose way and I've come to the conclusion that it is an LLM writing code for another LLM. As…

I recently asked Claude 3.7 (Thinking) to help me debug. I told it that it seemed my code crashed when MY_FLAG was true. Its solution? if MY_FLAG: MY_FLAG = False

Do you come across issues like this too or am I not prompting it correctly?

I prefer Aider, but that's a matter of taste.

Any free versions of Cursor or Aider?

Aider is free and open source, Cursor is free. You can connect Aider to various free models on OpenRouter, some of them state of the art.

> The app’s security is not perfect, but I’m pretty happy with it for the scale I’m at. If I continue to grow and get more abuse, I’ll implement more robust measures. The app literally exposes his OpenAI key.

Managers vibe coding, what to expect?

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.

You're implying that the only quality a conversation has is (dis)agreement. I have absolutely nothing against disagreement. Why are you saying this via a throwaway?

Fair enough! Throwaway because for some meta discussions like this I cannot identify myself for reasons.
