Whaaat you mean my 500mb electron app that just emulates a terminal but with fun colors because css is easy isn’t puter engineering?
its interesting this pointed list of the ways the llms fail standard coding/engineering practices or lack complete project visibility… wont this just then be utilized to help resolve those deficiencies in future iterations?
Yes. Absolutely.
This article seems to be written by someone without much experience with AI. Like they stopped at some point and haven’t been trying new AI agents. The gap is closing fast.

Especially for web stuff.
