Re: Where Are the Vibecoded Photoshops?
#162Articles like this where the author argues all sides in some sort of steelmaning attempt and listing also sorts of arguments that they’re not making on behalf of some third party or whatever are so frustrating. Genuinely hard to tell what the author is trying to say in the maze of imagined third party accusers and listings of things they’re not saying
Re: Where Are the Vibecoded Photoshops?
#163I don't think that's the direction this is going to take. Replacing a mature app with an incredibly wide audience and a million use cases may or may not be possible, but what's actually happening is that people are making an app that does exactly what they want, and using it to solve their own needs. Previously you might use Excel to take raw data from various places and analyze it, create charts, reports, extract fi…
Exactly this. I have an acquaintence who is a wine connoisseur and collector. He has done technical project management, but does not program himself. Over the course of several months, he has produced an app that manages a database of the wines he has. It's a lot more that just a CRUD-app. In addition to maintaining the obvious data (name, year, winery, notes, etc.), it can take a photo of the label, parse it, and fi…
what about the data? is it locally hosted? if he drops his phone everything will be lost?
or are servers and databases involved? if so, where are they being hosted? how did he manage those?
even these sorts of stories are incredibly shallow and hard to believe for me personally.

So LLMs are the 3d printers of software. Great for niche use-cases without enough market demand for a proper solution, and generally scale very poorly vs proper industrial processes.
Re: Where Are the Vibecoded Photoshops?
#165Not quite the direction I expected that to take, but I do agree with the broad strokes. LLMs lowering the cost of code isn't exactly solving software development, and is definitely not solving product development.

#166why would anyone vibecode photoshop when AI already makes images

The stack is typically some combination of supabase and vercel (think: managed everything), which get you far enough on a free plan if you have 1 user

If someone has any curiosity, they can ask the AI about this and it will engineer a solution, like use iCloud or some free tier service.
After all, it's basically how us software engineers arrived to where we are today. It's hubris to think nobody else has the interest nor attention span to walk a solution incrementally to its conclusion, esp when they don't know what the final solution will look like ahead of time.

That still seems like a simple CRUD app.
