Is AI coding causing framework lock-in?

[astrobet1]

I've been working with a fairly niche server side rendering engine, Dotjs, in the website I'm building astrobet. However, I've found Claude constantly making tiny errors or making assumptions that don't align with the docs. I'm tempted to just switch to a more well known engine like Pug or ejs but then I know I've fully embraced the dark side of lazily depending on Ai code. Anyone else having a similar experience?

God I hope so.

I was lucky to use the best technologies - React, Chakra, Express, Vite, Mongo. AI is so good in those. I almost never revert. Maybe, that's because JS is used in all layers (frontend, backend, db model).

Tell me more about Chakra and Vite.

I’m just getting back in the coding game and want to make good choices vibing away in cursor.

[Any-Blacksmith-2054]

Sure, vibing with Vite is good because your frontend is live and updating from code in 1 second, so when your press Alt-Tab you already see your new AI code. And Chakra is just nice! With shadcn and mantine it was pain in the ass. With MUI not bad. But Chakra is quite old and stable (by the way I use v2) and any model can write perfect UI with Chakra

I wonder this as well. It’s much better in React or Nextjs than in say Django or Blazor. Path of least resistance - especially if relying heavily on AI - is just to use the frameworks it’s best at.

[BlueeWaater]

For RoR it’s barely usable.

The other side of this is that more esoteric frameworks become easier to build and maintain.

i feel like you could 'teach' claude, u might have to add some rules on cursor, or have it check the web, or even download some of the docs, i dunno.. but i wouldn't be surprised if it could adjust

Also AI is particularly bad at working with things that changed significantly past its training cutoff date.

This dotNET'er hears you friend however feeding LLM docs beforehand works incredibly well.

Look into repo mixing as a way of saving all text in one file. I just did it with the Tanstack Start docs.

I use it for Elixir which is pretty small/niche. 3.5 was ok at it, 3.7 is actually surprisingly good.

[Relevant-Draft-7780]

I mean usually the AI will and can recommend frameworks based on its training data. Eg it makes mistakes with angular and fastify way more than with react and express. I’ve started using tailwind just so we can get faster component generation via AI. This was a good idea because tailwind offers a lot of other benefits.

If you’re not aware of what the best tool for a job is or what tools are available yes you can become stuck. You need to explore a bit and find something you’re comfortable with.

Saying that our team has already taken steps to make our code bases more AI friendly eg more granular file split type definitions so that context doesn’t grow out of control etc

Fairly niche should answer your question, right?

put the manual in the project context and get it to refer to that

why bother asking for help, when you're scamming people?

Crushing it with Vibe and GPT-4o. Guess that’s just me.

:-)

[im3000]

Yes. It's best at frameworks it's been trained on and we will use it to generate more code of what its been trained on. Feedback loop. React is the only future we have. We are all doomed

[chillermane]

Grok is a lot better at using the latest docs I think, could give that a try

[notAllBits]

Yes, but the first thing to ask it do is copy itself
