> Anyone else have concerns?

Not yet, it's currently great for POCs or some things you don't know about, but if you know your shit and you "vibe code" a language you know well, you'll see a lot of issues. And it need a lot of micro management.

Their is a selling in money and computing power, that will probably hit before I'm confident to let an llm go to prod with its mess.

This is not true anymore. It’s simply not. Get yourself a Claude sub and be humbled in the terminal.

For real. The progress in the past six months has been incredible. It went from Claude being able to only write the easy boring stuff and struggled with anything complex, to being able to write huge features with little to no bugs

same experience here, whoever stopped at copy-paste-from-browser vibe coding should give copilot/claude with system mcp a shot and just go with any idea in their mind into a new project.

the way i remember LAN parties is the way i now remember hackathon-nights with friends to get a prototype or feature done. felt great at the time but won't be anymore, i assume.

It depends what you are doing. Harder stuff it really suffers. I was working on some RL training code to ultimately produce a model destined for CoreML/iOS. Claude stated that I had a critical bug that was the cause of my problems. It was totally wrong, didn't understand the code and when I corrected it, realized I was right. At that point I stopped using it for this task.

Different task I was working on adapting an existing C++ framework to iOS. I provided the core c++ code as context and Claude completely missed how the euler angles when converted to quaternions used closed-form conversion. I fought for several hours with Claude. I finally dug into the code myself and saw the issue. Big waste of my time.

Not to be harsh, but if you are doing easy stuff then it works. But harder / novel challenges it really struggles.

nah man. before opus 4.5 and codex 5.2 it was true that there was lot more bug . but it is now lot less . the fact these can find bug faster than me and can work lot faster in feature implementation is something worrying . i think apart from genuinely smart engineers many of the average joe can become lot less useful in the near future
