<p>But once a human learns a function their errors are more predictable. And they can predict their own error before an operation and escalate or seek outside review/advice.<p>For e.g. ask any model "which class of problems and domains do you have a high error rate in?".</p>

<p>I feel it is about being disinterested than about being good. the ones who were not interested(whether good or bad) and were trapped in a job are liberated and happy to see it be automated.<p>The ones who are frustrated are the ones who were interested in doing(whether good or bad) but are being told by everyone that it is not worth it do it anymore.</p>

<p>I have seen more reactions of people about this tech than actual implementations made possible which pushed the boundaries further. It is an amplifier of technical debt in mostly naive(people experienced in bad patterns) user base.<p>Take anthropic for example, they have created MCP/claude code.<p>MCP has the good parts of how to expose an API surface and also the bad parts of keeping the implementation stuck and force workarounds instead of pushing required changes upstream or to safely fork an implementation.<p>Claude code is orders of magnitude inefficient than plainly asking an llm to go through an architecture implementation. The sedentary black-box loops in claude code are mind bending for anyone who wants to know how it did something.<p>And anthropic/openai seems to just rely of user momentum to not innovate on these fundamentals because it keeps the token usage high and as everyone knows by now a unpredictable product is more addictive than a deterministic one.<p>We are currently in the "Script Monkey" phase of AI dev tools. We are automating the typing, but we haven't yet automated the design. The danger is that we’re building a generation of "copy-paste" architects who can’t see the debt they’re accruing until the system collapses under its own weight.</p>

<p>It is not about making it yourself but a tradeoff between how much it can be controlled and how much has seen the real world. Adding requirements learned by mistakes of others is slower in self-controlled development vs an open collaboration vs a company managing it. This is the reason vibe-coded(initial requirements) projects feels good to start but tough to evolve(with real learnings).<p>Vibe-coded projects are high-velocity but low-entropy. They start fast, but without the "real-world learnings" baked into collaborative projects, they often plateau as soon as the problem complexity exceeds the creator's immediate focus.</p>

<p>Microservices is bad for teams without discipline to implement "separation of concerns". They hope that physical network boundaries will force the discipline they couldn't maintain in a single codebase.<p>While microservices force physical separation, they don't stop "Spaghetti Architecture." Instead of messy code, you end up with "Distributed Spaghetti," where the dependencies are hidden in network calls and shared databases.<p>Microservices require more discipline in areas like:<p>Observability: Tracking a single request across 10 services.
Consistency: Dealing with distributed transactions and eventual consistency.
DevOps: Managing N deployment pipelines instead of one.<p>For most teams Modular monolith is often the better "first step." It enforces strict boundaries within a single deployment unit using language-level visibility (like private packages or modules). It gives you the "Separation of Concerns" without the "Distributed Spaghetti" network tax.</p>

<p>I wanted to see how far it will go. 
I started with asking it to simple test app. It said it is a great idea. And asked me if I want to do market analysis. I came back later and asked it to do a TAM analysis. It said $2-20B. Then it asked if it can make a one page investor pitch. I said ok, go ahead. Then it asked if I want a detailed slide deck. After making the deck it asked if I want a keynote file for the deck.<p>All this while I was thinking this is more dangerous than instagram. Instagram only sent me to the gym and to touristic places and made me buy some plastic. ChatGPT wants me to be a tech bro and speed track the Billion dollar net worth.</p>

<p>Hi, Thank you for sharing.<p>I tried this prompt.<p>```
create a Rubik's cube app with all available moves and show the cube and the animations. add a scrambler and a solver. Also add timer to time the moves.
```<p>I got this.<p><a href="https://www.magicpatterns.com/c/psesccrmk41jibfhwp7wh1">https://www.magicpatterns.com/c/psesccrmk41jibfhwp7wh1</a><p>Which looks like a good starting point but doesn't work at all. After this it is daunting to look at code. I still have to figure out how to tell the chatbox to fix it.<p>Gemini 2.5 pro did much better in one shot. (the prompt was different and without the scrambler/solver/timer)<p><a href="https://sumitkumar.github.io/llmgenerated-static/" rel="nofollow">https://sumitkumar.github.io/llmgenerated-static/</a></p>
