> LLMs are not actually doing a great job of translating ideas into tangibly useful software

Here is the source code for a greenfield, zero-dependency, 100% pure PHP raw Git repository viewer made for self-hosted or shared environments that is 99.9% vibe-coded and has had ~10k hits and ~7k viewers of late, with 0 errors reported in the logs over the last 24 hours:

		How is it not? You can trace the back commits to the first to show that it was started from scratch: https://repo.autonoma.ca/repo/treetrek/commits/c7742cb3c580d...

Frankly, I created dozen of such projects in the last weeks. Recently I just deleted them all. I feel like there's no point. I cancelled my Claude subscription, too.

I got back learning from books and use LLMs for "review my code in depth and show me its weak points" occasionally.

		LLMs in teacher mode instead of solver mode can be great. ("review this change" is kinda sorta teacher mode.)
