To me, debunking hype has always felt like arguing with an advertisement. A good read about that: https://www.liberalcurrents.com/deflating-hype-wont-save-us/

There are two major reasons people don't show proof about the impact of agentic coding:

1) The prompts/pipelines portain to proprietary IP that may or may not be allowed to be shown publically.

2) The prompts/pipelines are boring and/or embarrassing and showing them will dispel the myth that agentic coding is this mysterious magical process and open the people up to dunking.

For example in the case of #2, I recently published the prompts I used to create a terminal MIDI mixer (https://github.com/minimaxir/miditui/blob/main/agent_notes/P...) in the interest of transparency, but those prompts correctly indicate that I barely had an idea how MIDI mixing works and in hindsight I was surprised I didn't get harrassed for it. Given the contentious climate, I'm uncertain how often I will be open-sourcing my prompts going forward.

I think this "* The software is pretty specific to my requirements." is the biggest part for me. I built something with Antigravity over the holidays that I can use for myself and it solves my use case. I tried thinking about if this can be helpful for others and pushed it a bit further into a version that could be hosted. Which does not make that much sense because it is a computationally intense numerical solver for thermal bridges and just awfully slow on a free hosted platform. But the project was a couple of evenings and would otherwise haven taken me half a year to complete (and thus never been done).

A recent favorite of mine is simonw who usually is unable to stop hyping LLMs suddenly forgetting they exist in order to rhetorically "win" an argument:

> If you're confident that you know how to securely configure and use Wireguard across multiple devices then great

What happened to your overconfidence in LLMs ability to help people without previous experience do something they were unable to before?

you know Google used to have a app for this

I swear people have forgotten how productive native programming 30 years ago was (Delphi, even VB)

compared to the disaster that is the web today

Can someone please explain to me how I was able to construct this DSL in as short a time as I did?

https://github.com/williamcotton/webpipe

https://github.com/williamcotton/webpipe-lsp

Fully featured LSP (take a look at the GIFs in the repo), step debugger, BDD-testing framework built into the language and runtime itself (novel!), asynchronous/join in pipelines (novel!), middleware for postgres, jq, javascript, lua, graphql (with data loaders), etc. It does quite a bit. Take a look at my GitHub timeline for an idea of how long this took to build.

It is 100% an experiment in language and framework design. Why would I otherwise spend years of my life handcrafting something where I just want to see how my harebrained ideas play out when actualized?

I would absolutely love to talk about the language itself rather than how it was made but here we are.

And I wrote my own blog in my own DSL. Tell me that's not just good old fashioned fun.

Lo and behold, here’s a concrete example I stumbled across just a few seconds after opening Reddit again (really gotta stop doing that):
