vividfrier is a bot. You can see in many threads that if the general opinion does not go the way of AI companies, a completely outrageous pro-AI comment appears and is voted to the top, so that casual readers are tricked into thinking that the fake comment represents the general opinion.
Often such comments appear just before the submission is abandoned to wrap up the thing.
I like how they say they don't vibe in this comment, and then that they don't read the code anymore in just the previous comment in their comment history.
> I fought for years trying to convince my colleagues to write good commit messages. Now Claude is writing great commit messages but since *I'm no longer looking at code* - I never see them. I don't think Claude uses them either.
Now? Intelligence agencies have been doing this for decades. There’s a reason social media and the web had some much money and support behind its adoption, and why the US in particular forces its view of free speech worldwide, it’s a way to weaponize opinion.
I have almost certainty by now that half of the web is just bots steering the narrative of humans, because I’ve never seen so much non sense being normalized in my life. Dish soap drinking level I mean.
You can also see a recent comment of theirs saying they "don't look at code any more" but in this comment they say they "still require a code review" for changes.
Actually it's fully measurable but no one who's making these claims ever seems to want to measure it, nor share data in a public way so that others could measure it.
What we do see publicly is OSS projects overrun with poor submissions, for example.
Comparing hobbyist vibe code that goes into OSS projects vs what large companies are doing with infinite token budgets is an apples to oranges comparison.
It is like saying "no one can produce a viable CPU because I can't tape one out in my garage."
>Or he's just giving a sane take, one that most people in the Bay Area have by now.
I don't know what the Bay Area note is supposed to mean in the context of the whole post - unless you want to reinforce that it surely means that it's a sane take... In which case, I'm not certain the non-Bay readers would agree that it comes from an unbiased culture.
People started depending on GitHub more. Do people really think it was more reliable when it was a sprawling RoR app in 2010? (Not that there’s anything wrong with RoR; people just didn’t expect such high uptime back then.)
Help me understand how your above comment[0] squares with your previous one[1].
Above, you said:
> We still require a code review for any change
And:
> We don't really vibe though. At least I don't. I see it more as comment driven development. I need to understand the code and what I want to achieve where in the codebase
I've been here since 2008 and I'll say it. Vividfrier is a bot. The people behind the likes of vividfrier are vandals, shitting all over the commons just to get even more than the massive amount they have already been given.
HN was a tremendous resource built by its members and the moderators. In the last year or so a lot of that has been destroyed by people who have no sense of decency. They see deception as a virtue. They call it hustle or whatever. WTF?
