    no guys don’t you understand! Nowadays AI is good! It was bad but now it’s good guys I swear. It doesn’t produce bad output anymore but only if you use the latest version! Really! You’re prompting it wrong and this AI in particular is not good, you’re not using the latest version!!!

    Yeah I’ve been hearing this for months, if not years now

      Programmers suck. I’ve seen some write some terrible code. You may say “they’re just exceptions” or “they’re just not doing it right”…

      If you can’t get a good llm to produce good code then you’re definitely working at it.

      Well now it’s true. I think people said it earlier because they didn’t really care about the slop. I do care, and so I would have totally agreed with you 3 months ago. But since Astra they made a huge leap (way beyond what the benchmarks show). Kind of annoying because I’d like to use them for personal projects but they’re really expensive. I tried some of the cheaper models and they’re still in slop land.

      In a way this is all great because vibe coding actually works for real now. Tools that I’ve wanted for years I can now make in a few days of prompting. But also… society is not ready for this. And I would like to have a job. Still, sticking your head in the sand isn’t going to help.
