Can you please share, if you are comfortable of course, what did the model(s) mess up? what were you using codex/cc/pi? did the project have a solid agent.md/claude.md? I am genuinely curious whenever someone have such a low success rate with models what is happening because it could be fixed maybe? From my own experience using agents for the past year or so. The rate if I have to guess, is well above 70%. I mainly use claude (opus) on typescript react projects that are well setup with minimal plugins/MCPs!

happy to share more if you are interested.

As I was reading and seeing the video, which is easier to demonstrate as you guessed, I was asking my self the same questions you answered in the "Caveats" section.

I love that you are trying something and you shared it, I relate very much to some parts of the post minus the fatigue part maybe I am it's because I am a very chatty person in general so prompting is not a problem who knows!

I had my own attempts to improve working with AI but to my fault I rarely commit to a project no matter if I wrote it or AI wrote it for me!

I tried this over a year ago https://github.com/ramigb/promachos (before I found out about spec kit and similar solutions) Then I tried this https://github.com/ramigb/groundcheck recently which is to actually help me in the review process specially if there is intent documentation like ADRs or similar.

Your post inspired me to try from a different angle. Thank you.

Same happened to me. Very disappointing, this should be mentioned before the user even authenticates in the onboarding phase of the product asking the user if they have acquired the whitelisting from OpenAI and want to proceed or not! But running for 35+ minutes plus to give such a response is very disappointing and very awkward! Not to mention the lost weekly tokens!

Opencode has a nice pricing with opencode go. Also minimax has a 10 dollars option that gives you 1500 requests every 5 hours!

That's beautiful! I see a .claude folder in your code, I am curious if you've "vibecoded" the whole project or just had claude there for some tasks! not that it matters or takes away from your work but just pure curiosity as someone who enjoys betting on the LLM output XD

I found that out while working with music models like Suno! I love creating music for my own listening experience as a hobbyist and when I give suno a prompt no matter how well crafted it is the outcome varies from "meh" to "that's good" ... while when I upload semi finished beat I made and prompt it to cover it the results consistently leave me speechless! Could be a bias since the music has a lot of elements I created but this workflow is similar across other generative models for me.

It is scary! my coping mechanism, which I admit is stupid, is to believe no matter what I do as long as I am online they have my data. But you are right most people just give absurd amount of data for willingly.

It becomes even sadder when Google caters to political propaganda of any kind, from any party or country, if the price is right. I wish Google realized how much greater and more beneficial the product and company are to the people who use them than all of that. I am not naïve -I understand they need to profit- but perhaps they are focusing on short term gains while introducing this poor user experience, which will eventually lead to major losses.

I don't think it makes everyone so productive, tbh! If you really know what you are doing and are willing to burn tokens, it will really take your work to the next level—provided you don’t work with a niche product or language that the models weren’t trained on.

If I may use an analogy, it's like what sampling is for music producers. The sample is out there—it’s already a beautiful sample, full of strings and keys, a glorious 8-bar loop. Anyone can grab it, but not every producer can sell it or turn it into a hit.

In the end, every hype train has some truth to it. I highly suggest you give it a shot, if you haven't already. I’m glad I did—it really helped me a lot, and I am (unfortunately, financially) hooked on it.

So your "search engine" uses Google and DuckDuckGo to get results? and you are creating it because "Google sucks"? Am I missing something here?

That is why I thought there should be sound but I missed the point it seems as others have commented something to do with modifying the visuals based on a function.

Anything that uses and depends on time synchronization basically. Which is a huge list. from railways to game servers. But again, do they all use these devices or in particular 10-bit counters? I have no idea.
