I think your comment is meant to imply I don't know what I'm doing.

Do you? If someone asks you to change anything in the configuration, do you think you can do it without the help of AI? That's the difference between knowing and understanding. I may read a Math proof and understanding. That doesn't mean I can replicate it or adapting to other proofs (and that's basically the Advanced Calculus tests I used to take when I was in college). I think that's what happened to you. Someone/s…

Yep, I have worked in IT professionally for many years.

I also didn't copy and paste, Claude ran the commands for me, so it was even easier than that.

You are making a lot of assumptions.

I can't imagine ever voluntarily divulging this kind of thing to others. Anyways, drop a link so we can see what an afternoon of vibe coding is capable of.

divulging what? its not far from taking a screenshot and generating a backend. which will probably be possible some time in 2027, and is mostly possible now. the moat on software is gone for people that know how to use the tooling

Drop the link, let's see how it did.

> Can you please explain why [...] I can't read the site - it won't load - but there's one obvious answer to your question: "No. AI did it."

No, it meant to imply you don't know why AI did it. Don't fret - nobody does.

I think this post is about enthusiasm for using an LLM.

One of the problems is that, if you use an LLM like this, and then post the output, you've probably just laundered at least one other person's copyrighted work (about how to do this kind of thing) through an LLM, and then put your name on it.

Anybody here have this phone? I'm curious to hear how well it runs https://love2d.org. There's an apk on that page that you can download and install.

(And then if you could try out my https://akkartik.itch.io/carousel and report back, that would be even more helpful.)

Edit 20 minutes later: After I posted this I remembered I have access to a https://www.walmart.com/ip/AT-T-Maestro-3-32GB-Ocean-Green-P.... And both LÖVE and my Carousel work great on it! Much less laggy than any other app on that phone. Including the browser.

I just restyled a full saas app thats doing 50k in arr per month, bootstrapped. I already shipped it to production. A major UX/element/component overhaul. It looks 10x more professional. I did it this afternoon, sitting on my couch. I took a raw css/html assets from a very professional saas app, and gave it to claude code. I wrote no code, and did not even review the code. This field is truly on its way to full autom…

do not share the link.

they aren't engaging in good faith.

haters are going to hate regardless.

This really doesn’t use caching? I’m surprised it can just get posted to the front page and survive.

phones these days are quite powerful

That $25 phone has 8 cores and 4GB of RAM.

I’ll fill in the part between OPs story and “then they all clapped” that he left out. He’s likely talking about “Save As”ing or scraping the DOM for rendered HTML/CSS and feeding that to an LLM to convert to actual in app wired up components.

eventually you will be able to generate a database schema/api by just feeding saas app html to an llm. you wont get everything, but you will get close
