What's the deal with everyone saying that ai produces slop code? I'm working for very profitable small software company in the US and I've built systems that have throughputs of hundreds of millions of dollars in transactions a year that net over 14 million dollars a month in profit and I haven't written a line of code in over a year. I build products completely solo and all it takes are two claude max plans that I switch between when I run out of credits.

The model for me is:

>intake client needs
>produce hand written plan for intent
>use claude to research the best methods for implementing intentions
>ignore claude's tech stack recommendations and replace with google based services
>have claude create build specification as sole source of truth for the build
>correct ai retardation through conversation when it misunderstands intent
>iterate on and adversarially review plan
>build in phases and test using playwrite
>when it's done test manually end to end and fill gaps

fucking simple as m8 and that shit is done while claude cries the entire time that a team of 1 could never do all this work. The most important thing I have to do is remind claude that we should be doing shit in parallel or using rollups or some shit but really if you have a degree that shit is obvious and even if you're a total retard "why is dashboard slow" it will probably recommend that you parallelize/virtualize the fetches. before you say some shit about how my systems suck, they get utilized by accountants and analysts if I was fucking up trust me I would hear about it. I hate using ai btw it's extremely boring.

he is a retard and he had plenty of retarded takes in the past
simply from his past frontend dev experience I will ignore all his arguments about LLMs and their competence

this "test" is no better than the pelican drawing "test" which the companies trained for after the initial hype hit peak
you are on his intelligence level since you are willing to watch 20 minutes of his videos rather than spend 20 minutes reading on new transformer scientific papers

I don't understand the point OP is trying to make.
Google is one of the wealthiest most successful tech companies on Earth. Their code and their employees are still bad. Mediocrity can survive several generations when you have more money than God to burn and customers are locked in combined with no better alternatives.

Just because your code gets accepted and you get paid doesn't really speak to the quality of the technical more than it does the business and/or market.
Maybe you do a horrible job, and that's okay in your bosses eyes because the client will pay anyway.

Racism is its own argument. If you want to argue that Indians are disgusting street shitters, go ahead. But saying “if you use Ai you’re Indian” is both retarded and racist in a dumb way where both arguments defeat each other.
Also site rules prohibit racism outside of /b/ you little election tourist.

>have claude create build specification as sole source of truth for the build
This is outdated practice. The newest models are much more reliable if you use the spec to build, then retire it after the model is done with testing the first pass.

It used to be the case that specs were useful for passing into the models as context, but now the models are able to read any files that they need into their context automatically. Keeping a separate spec for the model to reference as ground truth just created two ground truths that will inevitably start to come into conflict with one another. If the model has to make a decision, it should do so based on the code alone- separate documentation will poison its context window.

The code IS the documentation. Having supplemental documentation everywhere is just asking for contradictions. You might want that as a human because you find the code harder to read, but it's all the same to the model.

>>110006206
This is also context poisoning in current year. It will make your model write with nonstandard practices, which reduces said code's legibility when read by other models.

Commercial vibe coding will soon become standardized around a few models using mostly stock context. Loading in a bunch of extra instructions into their context window in the hope that it will make them fuck up less is not only not necessary with the most up to date models, it will actually increase the chances that they will fuck up. They are RL'ed to shit on everything that you're going to use them for, so just let the model do its job. It's not 2025 anymore- the models are better than you, just let them work.

where did this idiotic connotation even come from that only indians use ai or "promote" that ai does a good enough job
is this some anti-ai psyop that is being shoved on 4chan? literally 95% of the people who deploy code today write most of it with ai

there's your problem. you're creating the digital equivalent of cancer, but you're getting paid because that's what your retarded country does.

>>
>>110006340
It really depends on what you're doing. Most code in the average webdev app is so incredibly shit that even what AI produces would be better to the point there is now a trend of various fuckers taking electron dogshit and making it run 100 times better by just throwing AI at it.

If you don't give a shit about the code and just want to evaluate results based on input/output while disregarding everything else, that's fine, but that's a completely different argument from it being slop or not. If you produce this amazing code and then your coworker is spending 100 hours chasing bugs, it's probably great for you, but bad for him and maybe the org after they fire him for not being productive and nobody fixes your shit.
>>
>>110006327
Models from six months ago had to be tardwrangled and reviewed, but modern models literally just werk. Your priors are outdated.

In fact, most of the slop code arguments from the anti-AI crowd really just boil down to outdated priors. If you aren't actively using the newest models and keeping your practices up to date with them, you are passively throwing your career down the drain. Love it, hate it, it is what it is.

>but modern models literally just werk

I'm working on a huge system for a client that's worth billions of dollars and I don't write code manually either. My goal is to build features and fix bugs, not to write code or spend 10 hours debugging some obscure issue like a retard. I have more than enough technical know-how to understand generated code, make technical decisions, and guide the LLM to make adjustments, and nobody gives a shit how I do it as long as it works to the client's expectations. Models still require a lot of hand-holding and often make poor architectural decisions, but that's still a lot better than not using them at all.
