    Yes. Except that cursor is running at a loss and so is the company running the LLM that they pass all the work on to.

      It’s not about the company. It’s the investors that are making the profits. They dont care whether its making a profit or not, as long as they are making a profit themselves.

        OTOH OpenAI is not on the public stock market, so current investors can’t really sell their shares and there’s no way they actually raise the valuation it has.

        How are the investors making a profit when the company is being run at a massive loss?

        Probably selling their shares to the next grifer or something, I don’t know how the stock market casino actually works.

          Yeah that’s basically it. They’re betting that they’re not holding the shares when the company falls. Sometimes they are actually betting the opposite

    Recently I roo-coded a node.js MVP without knowing too much about Node, but something about JS/CSS/HTML although it’s years ago I last used it.

    I got something working decently by:

    • Make a project plan and use cases
    • Take (very) small steps
    • Commit often
    • Throw away bad attempts
    • Make test cases
    • Hand edit from time to time, especially CSS stuff.

    Would I have been able to fling something together by reading some node.js guides and using stack overflow yes, would it have taken around the same time yes, but without test cases and documentation. Do I think vibe coding is the best thing since sliced bread no!

      So many of the complaints I see about LLM behaviour can be so easily solved by just adding “don’t behave this way” to the prompt. Most LLM frameworks these days let you add stuff like that to the default system prompt so you don’t even have to remember to do it.

    After using opencode.ai to create some python apps and a webui, when you ask to do something you don’t know if it will fix it or break everything

    The very first comparison fails, though. I run LLMs locally on my own computer, tokens cost me nothing.
