>I don't want to talk to my computer

I recently vibe coded a voice typing software (using Parakeet — your best bet is probably Handy though).

It works in my terminal. (I just changed my paste shortcut to Ctrl+V

I can now literally speak software into existence!

I made a thin wrapper around my llm() function I can pipe text into from Bash.

This allows me to make many other thin LLM wrappers, such as one that summarizes then contents of entire directories.

I have a thing called Jarvis inspired by a Twitter post, where I ask it to do anything in bash, and it just does that.

I wouldn't exactly say it's useful (I am unemployed) but I am kind of having my mind blown a little bit.

The future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed yet.

What lunatic thinks that voice is the best way to interface with a computer?

Did pewdiepie not write a voice to text for his LLM setup?

Thing is, we can talk faster then most of us can type.

Voice + Programming is slow because of all the special symbols. But voice + vibe coding? The ability to tell your LLM to do tasks, while you focus on other parts of the code, without the need to switch tabs/windows.

What about "change the color green on this element (html page), where my mouse is pointing"... Annoying with keyboard if you need to switch windows, very possible with voice.

And LLMs are very forgiving for mistakes, unlike if you want to voice program where every symbol needs to be accurate.

People do not realize that programming as we know it, is going to change.

		>People do not realize that programming as we know it, is going to change. I saw yesterday that I had been approaching software incorrectly. It feels futuristic because it's so fast, but it's still linear. One guy making one thing at a time (with some help from the computer). But software can now be made so rapidly, that the bottleneck is actually curation. You can now generate a hundred ideas for software and a prototype for each one in the time it takes to make some coffee. Going through all of it is the part that doesn't scale, it's bottlenecked by the individual. That's the reward function, right? Taste, discernment. At this point software can grow itself, it can mutate, and it can combine with other software. I think building is entirely the wrong metaphor now. I think a better metaphor would be a genetic algorithm. You try a bunch of stuff and see what works. Then you combine the best parts.

disabled people? also no one needs 105% efficiency all the time when using a computer

Please, really, I am sure we all get it. Who is even the audience for this kind of comment at this point? Can't we have one comment section that's about how Linux is cool and good and Windows sucks? Like when we were all still real nerds instead of product hypers?

		The point of my comment is that if you use AI in the CLI it can be very helpful, because they're really good with text and pretty bad with everything else. The general rule here is that you use it for what it's good for it's actually really good. The "typing into my terminal" is mostly for interacting with Claude Code. I wish that part worked on my phone. Although I do use the voice typing tons for text chat, ironically.
