Which is exactly why we saw 1000s of ' "I" rewrote <mature software> in rust' posts last year when agentic coding really took off.

Agents (even ones powered by small models) do reasonably well when provided an oracle to work against.

You mean when the cocaine piracy parrot has something to plagiarise?

I've included docs and tests as part of my vibe coding endevours. It doesn't matter if either is litterally correct, but they create guardrails for future context to prevent regresssions and blind avenues, etc.

It's fairly successful but hits the time constrains and reduces the "value" of getting a local model to develop software.

It's still a bump in productivity.

  • how do incorrect tests or docs help create correct guardrails?

    if your tests and docs are possibly incorrect, and you're not writing the code.. how do you know if it even works? for extremely simple software you can just use it but for anything with access to disk or the network or with user options...

    you sound psychotic. actually. so nevermind, LLM psychosis is extremely common on this website, that's def all that's happening here

    • huh. Oh, I understand, you don't read LLM output.

      In local coding, the screen scrolls enough to actually read it.

      But that's fine. enjoy your misunderstanding.
