I don't know about you, but when the creator of a software says I have not read any of the code, I don't want to install or use it. Call me old fashioned. Really hoping this terrifying vibe coding future dies an early death before the incurred technical debt makes every digital interaction a landmine.

To be fair, the author says: "Do not use Gas Town."

I started "fully vibecoding" 6 months ago, on a side-project, just to see if it was possible.

It was painful. The models kept breaking existing functionality, overcomplicating things, and generally just making spaghetti ("You're absolutely right! There are 4 helpers across 3 files that have overlapping logic").

A combination of adjusting my process (read: context management) and the models getting better, has led me to prefer "fully vibecoding" for all new side-projects.

Note: I still read the code that gets merged for my "real" work, but it's no longer difficult for me to imagine a future where that's not the case.

I have noticed in just the past two weeks or so, a lot of the naysayers have changed their tunes. I expect over the next 2 months there will be another sea change as the network effect and new frameworks kick in.

No. If anything we are getting "new" models but hardly any improvements. Things are "improving" on scores, ranking and whatever other metrics the AI industry has invented but nothing is really materializing in real work.

I've seen a number of previous skeptics change their tune with Opus 4.5.
