What does this do better than just asking your agent to "write docs" or a more robustly defined prompt/skill?

Sadly there is a pejorative context. The constant us, the free world vs China, the evil Soviets rhetoric from every major news establishment and executive creates that negative view

I've heard this claim before but I've never seen any evidence.

I really hope we stop using the term "Chinese models". It has this air of Negative connotation. It's the equivalent of calling cars Japanese, which people used to do but now is almost entirely meaningless. You just call them Toyota, Honda, Lexus etc.

Was excited until I found out this is a YC company. And a stereotypical one by the sound of it ("pivot hell" blah blah).

If you're sell is being an unenshittified alternative to github, just give it time

They announced RTX spark days ago. Why is this post linking to a "leak" tweet on the frontpage now?

Why does a company with a seemingly health business model that is already churning profits and doesnt require large CapEx, taking losses to capture users, need to be raising this kind of capital?

Why was it enabled for only 2 of the 5?

Other burning questions: What methodology was used to choose the question set? Why not allow explanations? How many passes were done for each LLM?

And for requiring you to login with an email account to use the terminal.. (They finally removed this after years of complaints, but I dont trust any company with this type of culture)

from vibe coding to vibe investing

Excellent! This is exactly what we need!

I think it would be better if you shared a logic based argument as to why you disagree with him?

Yup this reads like post hoc revisionist marketing content rather than an engineers diary

Welcome to modern software

Its gotten so bad that its a meme on the macapps subreddit.

This is the unfortunate real face of open source. So many devs each making little sandcastles on their own when if efforts were combined, we could have had something truly solid and sustainable, instead of a litany of 90% there apps each missing something or the other, leaving people ending up using WisprFlow etc.

Nice vibe coded project. There are a few UX holes i've encountered so far: No way to go to the next lesson if we dismiss the modal (have to go back to the tree and then click the next lesson)? more hints or step wise reveal if user gets stuck will be very helpful

the part that tripped me up is 0 showing in deep RED and I thought that meant I was doing something wrong. I came here, read this and realized I was actually right and then pressed the Run tests button and passed. This is a UX thing you'd want to address

Yes, Its sad to see the reactionary hate triggered by a misleading article.

The number from 2025 is not really relevant when the layoffs were in March 2026. The article author clearly has a narrative they want to push.

And of the 436 petitions in 2026, only 235 are new hires (remaining are continuing approvals). Hardly a scandal there. Especially if they're likely hiring AI engineers and laying off call center employees - its not like their laying off an american citizen to hire a cheap H1B employee as this article is angling to have the reader believe.

Can you please open source the code?

I think my comment was a dissenting opinion, not a personal attack. Its troubling that such a comment would be considered crossing a line

[flagged]

Why do people find the need to market as "free alternative to xyz" when its a basic utility? I take it as an instant signal that the dev is a copycat and mostly interested in getting stars and eyeballs rather than making a genuinely useful high quality product.

Have you seen anything that Microsoft has done in the past 10 years?

infinitely more easy relative to what it used to be

Georgi's relevant comment: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/19324#issuecommen...

and use the original llama.cpp directly. Its infinitely more easy to setup and use now

Fair enough. This is my war time rhetoric. Its up to us to effect the future we want.

This is Yellow Pages type thinking in the age of the internet. No one is going to own an agentic layer (list any of the multitude of platforms already irrelevant like OpenAI Agent SDK, Google A2A) . No one is going to own a new app store (GPTs are already dead). No one is going to foundation models (FOSS models are extremely capable today). No one is going to own inference (Data centers will never be as cost effective as that old MacBook collecting dust that is plenty capable of running a 1B model that can compete with ChatGPT 3.5 and all the use cases that it already was good at like writing high school essays, recipes etc.) The only thing that is sticking is Markdown (SKILLS.md, AGENTS.md)

This is because the simple reality of this new technology is that this is not the local maxima. Any supposed wall you attempt to put up will fail - real estate website closes its API? Fine, a CUA+VLM will make it trivial to navigate/extract/use. We will finally get back to the right solution of protocols over platforms, file over app, local over cloud or you know the way things were when tech was good.

P.S: You should immediately call BS when you see outrageous and patently untrue claims like "Mac minis are sold out all over.." - I checked my Best Buy in the heart of SF and they have stock. Or "that its all over Reddit, HN" - the only thing that is all over Reddit is unanimous derision towards OpenClaw and its security nightmares.

Utterly hate the old world mentality in this post. Looked up the author and ofcourse, he's from VC.

terms of statistics. You might want to read something called gauge R&R

I think the first thing to focus on is the stats portion - do you have appropriate FAI/SPC/OQC with Cpk requirements defined? Gauge R&R plays a much smaller role, especially in something that is relative
