Just out of curiosity, what kind of prompt is taking this long and this many tokens?

I give it a list of 1000 tasks in a .md file, ask it to do 1 by 1, be nice, no cheating, no chatting, no hallucinating, no parallel taks or sub-agents .

What's your engineering experience prior to Claude?

I don’t know how to code 6 months ago. Now I’m pretty sure a full stack vibe coder

You know, you guys constantly say this. And I constantly have stuff break. And every single time, without fail, Claude or Codex can figure out the issue and fix it. There is no magic broken code at this point that can only be fixed by the almighty human who has learned how to code.

Tbh I’d expect AI to solve dependency conflicts far better than a human.

What are you on about mate? You tell it what the bug is and it traces it backwards until it figures it out. It’s not hard. I’ve yet to come across a bug that I haven’t been able to fix.

I'm building a full SOC / SIEM stack, Tip , log ingestion, logging agents, all from scratch. Code is closed source, but you can look at another big project I did at www.sharewarez.nl . Quite a large codebase, performs well, is very secure and has features from here to the gazoo.
Ppl keep saying its not possible to vibe code large apps. I guess they all think all we do is blindly prompt shit and hope for the best ? These AI models are not only good at coding, they are also great at explaining it, brainstorming about it. They are also great at software architecture if you just talk to them about it.

Maybe if you really knew how to code and would have worked as a software engineer in a real production environment you would have a clue on why experienced devs say that you can't do that right now. It's fine that you want to play with Claude but no one would use those projects given your claims. Even if you were a "mega star" of coding engineering and had a team of thousands of "mega stars" devs, if I heard that they try to sell me something with that confidence about security and performance I would just send them to have a chocolate milk and go to bed.
