It is genuinely hard to separate the useful new techniques of a new paradigm found by productive experienced software engineers and the cargo cult slop musing of a Potemkin app vibecode destined to expose your data in a single plain text file.
Positive users suggest assigning specific expert roles to AI to improve coding output quality, while negative users express frustration at the difficulty of separating real advances from vibecode slop.
One thing @steipete’s gives OpenAI: when Pete says he does X, no matter how wild X sounds, I genuinely believe that he is doing X.

@chrisalbon Just another day of sorting signal from the infinite stream of garbage.
@chrisalbon @steipete Conviction is rare, but execution is usually just noise until it works.
@chrisalbon Assign the AI a specific expert role to significantly boost the quality of its output! 🚀
