New comment by feifan in "After two years of vibecoding, I'm back to writing by hand"

> Feedback helps, right. But if you've got a problem where a simple, contained feedback loop isn't that easy to build, the only source of feedback is yourself. And that's when you are exposed to the stupidity of current AI models.

That's exactly the point. Modern coding agents aren't smart software engineers per se; they're very very good goal-seekers whose unit of work is code. They need automatable feedback loops.

this assumes the application is hosted as SaaS, but if the application makes sense as a personal/"desktop" app, that likely wouldn't matter.

Thanks Mahmoud! Does the code review aspect of this demo resonate more with you than the authoring part?

Thanks! Getting all the possibly-relevant related code isn't too hard; the hard part is filtering down to what's relevant. So I think specific use cases (e.g. "how do I get from a known entry point to some method/property/etc") is gonna be key.

> The company has stated that if we do not prepay the taxes by March 15, 2025, the RSUs will be permanently forfeited

Is it clear whether you'd forfeit your entire grant, or just some subset of shares that would correspond to a tax/withholding percentage?

I read that sentence as saying someone came up with a cost estimate of $142.7b to clean up everything, and then there's a comparison to 3M's $53b market cap for scale/comparison.

> Apps like Bear, Reeder, Anybox, Things 3, make switching devices seamless

I think Apple's whole point is that they provide the APIs so that apps can do this themselves. Which, yeah, is a bit disappointing; I'd love to have a 100% fidelity, flick-to-another-device type of Continuity built into the OS, but the APIs are at least a starting point.

Consider storing the data on Backblaze B2 ($0.005/GB/month) and serving content via Cloudflare (egress from B2 to Cloudflare is free through their Bandwidth Alliance).
