A lot of snark in these comments. Has anyone actually tried it yet?

This is like a person who thinks that making a photocopy of an Einstein paper makes him Einstein. You know, Einstein wasn't that special after all and the photocopier affects his fundamental ego.

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…

For some reason youre assuming Im not an engineer which is funny and revealing. 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 spli…

Which company so we can avoid it?

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.

Thanks for making it public. I love the zen architect. Will definitely try it.

We do Rover, which is different from the Microsoft product but the goal is similar. I was just responding to the above comment. I agree with you, it is a pretty good project and will be taking a look. We are so early there are tons of things to learn and try.

Hey no need to prove yourself to a stranger on the Internet. I'll take your word for it, including your "pretty large team working on it", which for some reason is necessary, although you have "vibe coded 95%" of your application. So if you were to be taken by your word, the LLMs are fantastic and you can do 95% production-ready on your own, just using the LLMs, but for some reason, you'll still need a "pretty large team" to work on it afterwards. Yeah, that sounds very consistent with your main line. Also feel free to share your company and product name, so we can avoid it - thanks.

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.

Hehe suddenly many people will have the real problem of paying bills unfortunately

They will, especially when it comes to paying back the VCs all the burnt GenAI-dollars
