#22Piece Together is an animated puzzle game that I built with a fairly heavy reliance on agentic coding, especially for scaffolding. I did have to jump in and tweak some things manually (the piece-matching algorithm, responsive design, etc.), but overall I'd wager that LLMs handled about 80% of the work.
I've never seen anything like it since the original days of the game "The Island of Dr. Brain" released in the early 90s.

#23Why do I read about all the vibe coders claiming to be 20X engineers in LLM threads and replacing many departments. Yet here is not a fking single commercially successful thing here? Funny also how Loveable and the like are hiring engineers like crazy, yet think engineers are not needed anymore. Why not just vibecode Loveable itself? Oh wait I can tell you why.
OpenAI themselves uses vibe coding to develop their services

#24You define ‘successful’ as ‘managed to push to production’? I think that is a disappointing low barrier.

#25A lightweight GTK Linux chat client that is not based on any web tech and supports most of the features offered by the various API's out there such as audio and image gen.

I'm sure the code can be critisized, but I'm happily using the application I wanted that did not exist having never programmed python in my life.

#26I own a small bar and inventory management is either spreadsheets or saas products meant for larger operations. With the exclusion of some very small changes (e.g., deleting dead code) it’s 100% written using Claude Code. Initial design was generated from markdown documentation I wrote, and each change has been careful and incremental. A few blind alleys lead in the wrong direction, but was always easy enough to back…
This is a strange space in software. I have a tiny tissue culturing lab in my home and wanted to manage media batches and their ingredients, cultures using the batches of media, inventory for media ingredients, and general inventory for running things. Cleaning, cutting, measuring, etc. I couldn't find anything which would allow me to keep stock of what I've got in the structure I needed, let alone while also project…
You're doing tissue culture at home?! That's impressive. I imagine you've got some background in bio - what projects are you working on?

#28With all the AI hype lately, if a product like that actually existed, you would’ve heard about it by now.

#29I’ve built and launched numerous SaaS products (which have paying customers) which were almost entirely built usibg AI agents including https://securitybot.dev and https://dependencydesk.com.
My experience so far has been if you possess both deep domain-specific experience and significant coding experience then these coding LLMs, and most notably Opus 4.5, are the greatest productivity booster in the world.
