Have you built anything in 18 months? I keep asking to see these apps that people supposedly vibe coded in a weekend but when I ask them to share it, nothing.
https://www.gabrieluribe.me I have some publicly accessible projects there.
I haven't shouted into the void for a while. Today is as good a day as any other to do so. I feel extremely disempowered that these coding sessions are effectively black box, and non-reproducible. It feels like I am coding with nothing but hopes and dreams, and the connection between my will and the patterns of energy is so tenuous I almost don't feel like touching a computer again. A lack of determinism comes from m…
> where I feel so disconnected from my codebase I'd rather just delete it than continue. If you allow your codebase to grow unfamiliar, even unrecognisable to you, that's on you, not the AI. Chasing some illusion of control via LLM output reproducibility won't fix the systemic problem of you integrating code that you do not understand.

Sub-agents. I've had Claude Code run a prompt for hours on end.
What kind of agents do you have setup?

Have you built anything public that folks can try out? Not doubting but it helps to contextualize things
https://app.grantpuma.com/ It's a startup for finding grants. We have california state, federal, non-profit and california city/county grants. My landing page absolutely sucks but if you sign up / upload some papers or make some search cards you'll like the experience. I'm very excited to try out the new Qwen XL that came out recently for visual design. I could really use some better communication to users of the cap…
A lot of content is off-screen, and can't be swiped back on-screen.

Actual app did let me theough the flow, but had things like dialogs staying open and covering content (I assume a non tech person would have missed them)
I think part of the AI gap right now is the UI/UX you're expecting. AI isn't able to meet the bar for UI work for me at all right now. I do use it via Tab completion, or chat for specific scaffolding, but the agentic form is rough
I had access to a preview over the weekend, I published some notes here: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Sep/29/claude-sonnet-4-5/ It's very good - I think probably a tiny bit better than GPT-5-Codex, based on vibes more than a comprehensive comparison (there are plenty of benchmarks out there that attempt to be more methodical than vibes). It particularly shines when you try it on https://claude.ai/ using its brand n…
Anthropic really nailed this release. There had been a trend where each new model released from OpenAI, Anthropic, etc. felt like a letdown or worse a downgrade. But the release of 4.5 break that trend, And is a pleasant surprise on day one. Well done! :)

Ah, a $999 vibe coding course. That completely checks out.
Otherwise, I do professional software consulting + a variety of projects as an independent.

Not everyone hates their job and gets no satisfaction from it. Some of us relish doing something useful and getting paid for it.
Sure. I don't doubt it. But let's say if I can make a 100 million pounds appears on your bank account tomorrow. Will you say no to it and go back to your day job?

There are so many people en masse who simply cannot accept that the days of coding manually, by hand, could be coming to an end. It's wild.
