The most glaring weakness in AI poster design to me is its inability to create strong visual hierarchy. Even if you explicitly ask it to do so, its fundamental inability to “see” is quite apparent in the output.

Lol this landing page looks almost exactly like something my company just put out. Holy AI

Seems like the posts on this site are largely LLM-generated though? Correct me if I’m wrong.

Personally I’m ok with vibe coded projects - certainly feels like the future of things, and I think the line between vibe coded and “professionally” coded is increasingly blurring - but I completely agree on the marketing/communications piece. Ideally your communication about a project conveys real expertise and ownership, signaling that you really understand the problem you’re trying to solve and the tradeoffs you made in your approach to do so. I am very hesitant to use a project where it feels like the eng couldn’t pass a pop quiz about how it works + why.

Nice idea. Our new CTO brought in a tool he made for analyzing cyclomatic complexity and it’s been useful since we’re a heavily AI-forward shop.

BTW, you can avoid your comments being flagged and killed by writing them yourself! I know it’s tempting to offshore it to AI (especially after you’ve vibe-coded a whole project) but some genuine human communication goes a long way.

This spiked my blood pressure. Well done

Anyone else’s company completely frozen by this outage

Totally valid correction, thanks !

Maybe I’m a Luddite but I find AI prose completely tiresome to read, and its presence in an article forces me to be skeptical about whatever the author wrote. The latter was obviously a problem pre-AI but these tools simply make it much easier to tell stories, narratives, etc. that aren’t yours.

I hate that the LLM era has turned me into a detective every time I read a piece of writing but… this prose is very AI-speak, no?

And this lost trust will not suddenly reappear when he leaves office. He has damaged our reputation for a generation

I don’t think it’s accurate to characterize the New York Times as dying lol

Good looking out, great suggestions. This is one of my first times building an npm package so I appreciate the detailed look here

What was the SpongeBob thing about though

>Nobody hires code monkeys.

Respectfully disagree here. People have always hired code monkeys and arguably they will hire more of them as engineers become increasingly able to defer their judgment to LLMs. It might be true that the top level companies expect strong mental models of the code but in my experience many companies (especially startups) really just want the 0->1 ability and don’t care how you get there.

Help me understand: depthfirst seems to be bigging up their “security agent” here, but is it not just prompt engineering + writing skill files? What goes into producing a “security agent” beyond this? Feels like they’re really gussying up a process that is ultimately just LLM usage

The locust jump scare got me. Great article though - super fascinating. I had no idea an organism could effectively become a different species based on its environment.
