another s/built/prompted. are the mods trying to game some metric by constantly putting these at the top of the front page?

What does it matter if it works?

My current dark factory stack is using a Cyber Elon [0] at CEO with a dev team consisting of Gilfoyle, 2x Mr Robots, and Pickle Rick, with Alan Turing as dev manager, easily 5x'd my output in raw performance metrics with this, and considering I had already easily achieved a 10x over baseline dev performance using vanilla agents and other mainstream AI techniques. Whenever people say AI is just glorified auto complete I know they haven't been using the latest model versions.

How picture perfect are its Nazi salutes?


That's so lame dude

Dang how will Tailscale make any money on its latest vibe coded feature [0] when others can vibe code it themselves? I guess your SaaS really is someones weekend vibe prompt.

That's what LLMs enabled. Faster prototyping. Also lots of exposed servers and apps. It's never been more fun to be a cyber security researcher.

I think it just has been more fun being into computers overall!

It's interesting because if you're into computers it's more accessible than ever and there are more things you can mess with more cheaply than ever. I mean we have some real science fiction stuff going on. At the same time it's probably different for the newer generations. Computers were magical to me and a lot of that was because they were rare. Now they are everywhere, they are just a backdrop to everything else going on.

I agree, I remember when the feed forward NN were the shit! And now the LLMs are owning, I think this adoption pattern will start pulling a lot of innovations on other computer science fields. Networking, for example. But the ability to have that peer programer next to you makes it so much more fun to build, when before you had to spend a whole day debugging something, Claude now just helps you out and gives you time to build. Feels like long roadtrips with cruise control and lane keeping assist!

Based on what? In fact, the commit messages sure make it seem like someone who only knows how to use git to to take snapshots, exactly like when one turns off their brain and vibe codes, and after chatting enough with the chatbot to get their next feature seemingly to work make some sort of "updated bla" commit with no reference to the extremely detailed code change they just made.

You seem to have gotten used to perfect written commit messages by Claude. Many people, especially those starting out with, or not heavily using, git, do write messages like that. (edit: To be honest sometimes I too make temporary "wtf" commits; I just later squash them and no one knows.) That can actually be seen in this very repo by the refactor ones. And, the commits themselves are actually where I'm basing it. Small changes (vibe coders tend to forget a vcs exists; why we see 20k LOC first commits), commented-out code parts (have you ever seen AI commenting out code?), plain code comments (again compare to what refactor commits introduce).

Great idea that is already implemented as a feature by major AI providers, several well funded startups, countless unfunded startups, and trivially solved per-user with any handful of existing technologies.

Truly baffling its in the top 5 of the front page. My first thought was bot army upvoting but the total points are quite low. That means this is some mod's personal idea of an especially interesting submission?


All three companies profiled are selling products TO vibe-coders, not apps created BY AI-utilizers.

The shovel seller in the gold rush analogy.


Would you describe this product as a whole application suite (blogging, calendar, commerce) plus its own backend infrastructure that is capable of serving these apps to the public internet and functioning offline via ad-hoc wireless peer-to-peer, with a cryptographic layer providing identity, security and censorship resistance, and that runs on phone, laptop or raspberry pi?

Quite ambitious.

Is this an LLM hallucinating? taking a break from coding? or leaking your personal desktop session?

> leaking your personal desktop session?

I've answered in more detail on the other reply below on the conversation. Thank you for spotting that.

> Would you describe this product as a whole application suite

The rabbit hole goes even further. The reason why callsigns are used is because geogram can happily communicate using radio-waves on walkie-talkies without internet at all. On the previous iterations (before AI) it was sending free SMS using walkie-talkies and satellites (APRS), this current incarnation should soon be doing the same things too.

This is a niche app, written for our community in Portugal to connect with each other.


> Is this an LLM hallucinating? taking a break from coding? or leaking your personal desktop session?

Ha! In any case, I'm happy to see I'm not the only one compulsively "ls-ing" all over the place in every terminal I open :)


Thank you for the concern, I've checked and that is the CLI history file that is used on the linux server.

Had some fun and added some CLI dungeon and dragon games inside. Will put that file on the .ignore list. Basically the games are based on markdown text files: https://github.com/geograms/geogram/blob/main/games/azurath-...


Off topic I suppose but in the early 2000s there was a large LAN party / gaming tournament using this name. Several friends drove hours to attend.
