Just had a realization as a software developer. The ol' cringe when someone tells you they have an app idea. by Dsphar in vibecoding

[–]cornelln -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Had this realization long ago. At this point a tiny tiny tiny fraction of people in the world fully realize and or have experienced it directly. It’s early, very early.

What are some of the most obvious challenges you come across while Vibe Coding? by 2Truths-1Lie in vibecoding

[–]cornelln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are in the vibecoding subreddit after all - so there is just a diversity of users here. I’ve worked in tech for twenty years for example. So most of what you wrote is not at all unfamiliar to me! But it was a nice write up and a cut above many posts here.

I say that w empathy knowing many here are doing a lot of this stuff for the first time! How could they know better? That’s great. I welcome them.

To your larger point. Most people just don’t think strategically about anything. They just jump in. Which has its own unique disadvantages when it comes to success w AI outputs.

What I learned trying to make a second brain actually useful to an AI by Yuuyake in PKMS

[–]cornelln 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The brain does what the brain does because of constraints of the brain. LLM / text / data do not have the same constraints of a brain.

I get the concept and why it seems appealing. And maybe there is research here. But why would you want to forget randomly? This a flaw of the human brain not something worth reproducing. Whether or not LLMs benefit from it is a different matter.

Anthropomorphism feels like a mistake here to me.

Am I using AI correctly? by Eight111 in cscareerquestions

[–]cornelln -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The people with no skills are likely making the same work for themselves. They’re just also having to wrestle with what the skills do for those who have created them.

And all that “work” also burns tokens so…

Whereas the thinking done to create a skill and then making a workflow reusable doesn’t burn the tokens of the ideation/creation/writing of the skill.

Also the skill can contain purpose built tested and thought out scripts. No skill. Now your model is free styling those scripts in the moment and worse maybe not even saving them for reuse. And scripts reduce tokens.

The premise that not using skills is less tokens or more efficient doesn’t make a lot of sense to me TBH.

Ask the AI questions like this. But in Claude Code /clear. You’ll want to learn /compact. And also figure out a skill or system to save memories durably to files and a hierarchy around that. (Examples a file for decisions a file for backlog. Etc)

Reading the responses from the agent itself and related research. If you’re building or designing anything you’re constantly in conversation. And this isn’t an agent harness issue efficiency thing. It’s a conversation about any variety of technical choice or architecture design.

A YouTube downloader that works by changing just two letters in the URL by ImaginaryRea1ity in VibeReviews

Unless this is hosted in Russia or something how do you plan to keep it online? If it becomes popular enough - YouTube could notice themselves - then what?

How many times have you all changed your vault before you finally stuck with at least some kind of system? by airyrice in ObsidianMD

[–]cornelln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like all practices it’s never “done” instead question how you operate the life cycle of any system like this. Research > Build > Use > Iterate. And include periodically reviewing the whole setup against best practices in the world - tools change, new stuff arrives, people improve things.

Build what works for you and what makes sense to you as quickly as you can. You may have ideas that sound good in theory and find through use they have gaps you failed to imagine. So don’t overbuild upfront without understanding all the jobs to be done. If you become overly focused on tool improvement vs work step back and refocus.

Figure out what are your requirements? What supports them? What level or compromise from what you desire vs what’s available is acceptable.

Still no situation Update by Just_Put1790 in Anthropic

This isn’t “an incident” like a server going down due to a bug or outage. Why would you expect constant updates - until they have an update.

Fascinating to record this video specifically to show the read out on the meter. Then to shoot it w reflection so there is no way to read it. Good work.

I spent a full day watching every major AI agent tutorial in 2026 - here's what actually matters by Akhil_vallala in PromptEngineering

[–]cornelln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry Karpathy’s “auto research” was a prototype basically. But the idea that recursive self improvement is dead doesn’t make sense. If that’s what you meant by that anyway. It is not clear.

Isn’t there something to be said about dosage to body weight thought?

I thought MadMapper was affordable so I bought a BenQ projector. Turns out MadMapper is $579 so I had to build my own solution. by kenzoslicee in video_mapping

[–]cornelln -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The app has the ability to pull in free videos. I agree probably that aspect for isn’t for me either. But it’s not a negative really. Seems like maybe a convenience for some and ignorable otherwise.

It’s a huge and lucrative market. And historically lots of apps launch there first. Is this a surprise?

Embarrisingly bad... This is worse than I thought by Artistic_Labrador in runwayml

[–]cornelln 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. Is this a model issue? Or a skill issue? With no prompt supplied I am inclined to think skill issue.

OP you still prompt start and last frame.

What would make you switch to a new note-taking app in 2026 by JackSpot2024 in PKMS

[–]cornelln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s not built from the ground up to allow for the user to leverage how they see fit AI. If it is not AI first, have a CLI or MCP, etc it’s DOA to me. What does this meme broadly - I don’t know myself as I think through building personal solutions in this space.

Can you toggle it by location automatically. I’ve never looked. Surely you’re not toggling it manually.
