You’re absolutely right !

While I agree with the points he’s raising let me play devils advocate.

There’s a lot more code being written now that’s not counted in these statistics. A friend of mine vibe coded a writing tool for himself entirely using Gemini canvas.

I regularly vibe code little analyses or scripts in ChatGPT which would have required writing code earlier.

None of these are counted in these statistics.

And yes AI isn’t quite good enough to super charge app creation end to end. Claude has only been good for a few months. That’s hardly enough time for adoption !

This would be like analysing the impact of languages like Perl or Python on software 3 months after their release.

Nope this is a preview of their coming agentic product. Could be something like a browser + deep research + computer use agent for consumer use cases.

Mods - earlier submission had a rendering bug and I had to create a new version hence the resubmission.

Vibe coded a fun little text adventure game using and with Gemini in the app.

Show HN: London Aether – A Text Based Adventure Vibe Coded in Gemini

thewarrior — Sat, 28 Jun 2025 10:01:06 +0000

I used the Gemini app to vibe code a text based adventure game.

All the game states are generated using Gemini itself and it’s free to play as it’s hosted on Gemini canvas created from the Gemini app.

This post is a dupe I have resubmitted as the version here has rendering issues on mobile.

Let me know what you think. I think this shows some interesting directions for procedural content and story telling.

Atomic energy has both good and bad uses. People being tired of atomic energy has held back GDP growth and is literally deindustrialising Germany.

That’s always the case with any new technology. Tech isn’t going to make everyone happy or achieve world peace.

It’s writing most of my code now. Even if it’s existing code you can feed in the 1-2 files in question and iterate on them. Works quite well as long as you break it down a bit.

It’s not gas lighting the latest versions of GPT, Claude, Lama have gotten quite good

I’m tired of farming - Someone in 5000 BC

I’m tired of electricity - Someone in 1905

I’m tired of consumer apps - Someone in 2020

The revolution will happen regardless. If you participate you can shape it in the direction you believe in.

AI is the most innovative thing to happen in software in a long time.

And personally AI is FUN. It sparks joy to code using AI. I don’t need anyone else’s opinion I’m having a blast. It’s a bit like rails for me in that sense.

This is HACKER news. We do things because it’s fun.

I can tackle problems outside of my comfort zone and make it happen.

If all you want to do is ship more 2020s era B2B SaaS till kingdom come no one is stopping you :P

Ask HN: How much of your thought process while coding is verbal?

Inspired by the “programming is thinking” post. How does your thought process look like ? Is it verbal or intuitive ?

It’s not reproducing exact strings in the training data but patterns and patterns of patterns.

There’s a giant caveat here - this assumes that the current LLM architecture is enough to bootstrap to those higher levels of intelligence. LLMs are incapable of some pretty simple things at this point and it’s a big question mark of whether they are even capable of doing sophisticated reasoning and planning architecturally.

GPT-4 cannot play a good game of tic tac toe. But it can play passable chess. This is a good point to ponder.

This is where speech to text models like Whisper and LLMs can make a real difference.

I have friends in academia who use GPT-4 to help with with research level code. TikTok just released an app where you can hum a song it will generate a full instrumental backing track.

This stuff can already do impressive things and its only getting better.

Douglas Hofstadter and Geoffrey Hinton both think that we are on the path to humans eventually being surpassed.

I would urge everyone to hold back their instinctive reaction to the usual SV hype and go and try GPT-4,Claude+, Mid Journey, RunwayML for a few weeks and come to their own conclusions.
