just spent an hour helping a friend debug some lovable-generated code. he's on hour 6 with this bug

super bearish on vibecoding with llms. they're great for prototyping but cannot be trusted

we need a different model architecture that can actually understand and reason about the code

building /cabin, advising /clanker and /farcon | grin.io

I think if you're an excellent developer and can write excellent documentation, from what I hear from devs better than me, you can do a sort of documentation-driven-development approach

But you have to have a fine intuition for the LLM limitations and be prepared for careful code review

Wishful thinker, lives off scraps of imagination

The promise of lovable is that you can code in English 

But the reality is that while coding in English is easy, debugging in English is hard (esp if you don’t understand or look at the code). And refactoring even more so.
