I'll always be skeptical about using AI to amplify AI. I think humans are needed to amplify AI since humans are so far documented to be significantly more creative and proactive in pushing the frontier than AI. I know, it's maybe a radical concept to digest.
Based on clear, operational definitions, AI is definitely more creative than humans. E.g., can easily produce higher scores on a Torrance test of divergent thinking. Humans may still be more innovative (defined as creativity adopted into larger systems), though that may be changing.
You think it is creative because you lack the knowledge of what it has learnt.
I do a lot of work with claude code and codex cli but frankly as soon as I see all the LLM-tells in the readme, and then all the commit messages written by claude, I immediately don't want to read the readme or try the project until someone else recommends it to me. This is gaining stars and forks but I don't know if that's just because it's under the github.com/microsoft, and I don't really know how much that means.

Exactly. I don’t understand the cynicism in the comments and they literally are just trying to make the technology more accessible
That's a very altruistic outlook on Microsoft's intent with getting everyone to use and depend on AI.

Nothing to do with ego, but you may want to check your own projections, you know how when you speak of the others, you mainly speak of yourself (Jung or Freud, not sure). No need to be bitter about not having the grind and focus to become an engineer yourself, it is after all much harder than say, earning an MBA and you should be OK with whatever you turned out to be. Not to mention that the tools themselves, were in…
I am an engineer and my vibe coded prototype is now in production, one of the best applications of its type in the industry, and doing really well. So well, I have a pretty large team working on it now. This project was and still is 95% written by AI. No complaints, never going back. That's my experience.
Clearly the eng community is splitting into two categories, people who think this is all never going to work and people who think otherwise. Time will tell who's right.
To anyone else reading and thinking closer to the second side, we're hiring :)

> A lot of developers either don’t use coding agents to their full potential Define "full potential". Sounds like you are just making things up to sell your product.
Our “product” is a tool we developed internally and found it so useful that decided to open source it. With full potential I refer to getting the best possible results. For example, being able to work on tasks in parallel without Claude instances interfering with each other vs , well, no doing so.

Alternative hypothesis is that you work on trivial problems, and therefore you get a lot of help from LLMs. Have you considered this?

Sounds like a research project, they're sharing it out to get some feedback and get a discussion going. How is this different than Google's Jules thing? Both sort of experimental exploratory things.
A lot of snark in these comments. Has anyone actually tried it yet?
I think most of us are irritated by the constant A/B Testing and underwhelming releases. Lets just have the bubble pop so we can solve real problems instead of this.
