| I suspect you do not know how to use AI for writing code. No offence intended - it is a journey for everyone. You have to be setup with the right agentic coding tool, agent rules, agent tools (MCP servers), dynamic context acquisition and workflow (working with the agent operate from a plan rather than simple prompting and hoping for the best). But if you're lazy, don't put the effort in to understand what you're working with and how to approach it with an engineering mindset - you'll be be left on the outside complaining and telling people how it's all hype. |

| Always the same answer. It's the user not the AI being blown out of proportion. Tell me, where are all those great amazin applications that were coded 95-100% by AI? Where is the great progress the great new algorithms the great new innovations hiding? |

| ▲ | the_overseer 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | From the link: "For now, I’ll go dogfood my shiny new vibe-coded black box of a programming language on the Advent of Code problem (and as many of the 2025 puzzles as I can), and see what rough edges I can find. I expect them to be equal parts “not implemented yet” and “unexpected interactions of new PL features with the old ones”. If you’re willing to jump through some Python project dependency hoops, you can try to use FAWK too at your own risk, at Janiczek/fawk on GitHub." That doesn't sound like some great success. It mostly compiles and doesn't explode. Also I wouldn't call a toy "innovation" or "revolution". |

| How many agents, tools, MCP & ACP servers, claude hooks, and workflows do I need to set up before English becomes a good programming language? |
| |
| ▲ | smcleod an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | One agent, a few sub-agents, 1 MCP server, no "ACP" (never seen that used), no hooks, one workflow that I usually follow. | |

| Do you know of any YouTube videos where you would say they do a very good job of showing off this style of coding? |

| ▲ | bopbopbop7 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Your best example of something you made with AI is another AI code generator… definitely not beating the AI bubble allegations anytime soon. | | |
| ▲ | smcleod an hour ago | parent [-] | | 1. I didn't say it was a best example, I replied to a comment asking me to "Post a repo" - I posted a repo. 2. Straw man argument. I was asked for a repo, I posted a repo and clearly you didn't look at the code as it's not an "AI code generator". | | |
| ▲ | bopbopbop7 an hour ago | parent [-] | | 1. I didn’t ask for a repo.
2. Still wasn’t me. Maybe an AI agent can help you check usernames?
3. Sorry, a plugin for an AI code generator, which is even worse of an example. |
