It’s hard to evaluate setups like this without knowing how the resulting code is being used. Standalone vibe coded apps for personal use? Pretty easy to believe. Writing high quality code in a complex production system? Much harder to believe.
No it isn't. There are no short cuts to ... anything. You expend a lot of input for a lot of output and I'm not too sure you understand why.
"Example: an agent once wrote code ..." - not exactly world beating.
If you believe this will take over the world, then go full on startup. YC is your oyster.
I've run my own firm for 25 years. Nothing exciting and certainly not YC excitable.
You wont with this.
My hunch is that this article is going to be almost completely impenetrable to people who haven't yet had the "aha" moment with Claude Code. That's the moment when you let "claude --dangerously-skip-permissions" go to work on a difficult problem and watch it crunch away by itself for a couple of minutes running a bewildering array of tools until the problem is fixed. I had it compile, run and debug a Mandelbrot fract…
Why are you not already a unicorn?

Crack on - this is YC! Why are you not already a unicorn?
Okay, what is he actually building with this? I have a problem where half the times I see people talking about their AI workflow, I can't tell if they are talking about some kind of dream workflow that they have, or something they're actually using productively
I keep coming to the same conclusion, which basically is: if I had an LLM write it for me, I just don't care about it. There are 2 projects out of the maybe 50 or so that are LLM generated, and even for those two I cared enough to make changes myself without an LLM. The rest just sit there because one day I thought huh wouldn't it be neat if, and then realized actually I cared more about having that thought than havi…
yes AI assisted workflow might be here to stay but it won't be the magical put programmers out of job thing.
And this the best product market fit for LLMs. I imagine it will be even worse in other domains.

Ah, I skimmed the docs for Goose but I couldn't figure out exactly what it is that it does , which is a common issue for docs. For example: https://block.github.io/goose/docs/category/tutorials/ I just want to see an example workflow before I set this up in CI or build a custom extension to it!
Classic Steve Klabnik comment.
ADHD coding, brute forcing product generation until you get it right? Just freaking write the code that you can expand and modify in the future instead of increasing your carbon footprint.
Business owner asks for a new CRUD app and there it is in production.
Of course it's full of full of bugs, slow as syrup, saves to a public unauthed database but that's none of my business *gulps scalding hot tea*
