Am I the only one who is getting tired of all these LLM generated landing pages with their hallmark indigo backgrounds/gradients, unnecessary and tasteless transitions, and meaningless marketing sell points?

I'm not sure what LLM has to do with it. A zillion boilerplate landing pages exist out there regardless and a lot of them look/behave just like that. Copying is copying.

i love the process of AI vibe coding slowly re-inventing the normal structures of software development how long until we start seeing software products for scrum management and t-shirt size estimation for claude code introduce waterfall methodology to the LLM!

People are already doing waterfall with their quest for the perfect prompt that will produce a complete, fully functional implementation. (These people dont realise that there a lot of tradeoffs to be made that pop up during implementation)

Yeah this is my problem with building my cathedral up front in a prompt, I just don’t work that way. I need to see some interactions and mess with it to tell how it should work.

LLMs are known to overuse purple:

Yeah definitely feels vibe coded. I am so sick of the overuse of icons.

Plus the endless emojis and the cards with images completely missing from the bottom section where you're supposed to "see it in action."

It shows a lack of respect for yourself and your potential readers when you build something like this.

I just add

> always git commit with a one line message

to my `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` file. This has in my experience been enough to get atomic commits after every minor change. I'm probably not the target audience for this though.

Yeah. "LLM" and "Wordpress" is the same.

I tend to have auto-accept on for edits, and once Claude is done with a task I'll just use git to review and stage the changes, sometimes commit them when it's a logical spot for it. I wouldn't want to have Claude auto-commit everything it does (because I sometimes revert its changes), nor would I want to YOLO it without any git repo... This seems like a nice tool, but for someone who has a very different workflow.

Yeah I basically have Claude commit via git regularly and the majority of the other features described her can be done via git. I agree it's a neat idea for someone though.

It might be boring but it's easily understandable - I know where to click, where to look etc.

It's kind of a minimalism; it's not pleasing (to me) but it works
