I think we need a mandatory disclosure on software "was >1% vibecoded" same as we have on allergens for food. This'll prevent its use in any safety-critical place.
>It doesn’t remember that last week we made a small refactor to make future development easier, or that I abandoned a particular idea as a dead end
Sometimes you need to keep the context and sometimes you need to reset it.
An example of needing to reset. Asking for X, later realizing you meant Y and having the LLM oscillates between them, on an unrelated request it adds X back in, removing Y. Etc.
Clearing the context solves the above. I currently do this by restarting the IDE in Intellij since there isn't a simple button to do it. It's a 100% required feature and knowing LLM contexts and managing them is going to be a basic part of working with LLMs in the future. Yet the concept of the need to do this hasn't quite sunk in yet. It's like the first cars not actually having brakes and the drivers and passengers used to get out and put their feet down. We're at that stage.
What we really need is detailed context history of the AI and a way to manage it well. "Forget i ever asked this prompt". "Keep this prompt in mind next time i restart the IDE" are both examples of extremely important and obvious functionality that just doesn't exist right now.
If the headline is true, this guy values the AI at $41.73, but his own time at $0/hr. If that's how we're measuring things, then my development team costs $0 a month.
That is a very strange calculation for me or I missed something. This is an open-source project, so all human contributors cost zero. He does not count himself as a cost, ok fine and understandable if you don't wanna earn from this project it is kind of an ok look at cost.
But if I see it in this relation, because of Copilot his "team" costs now $41.73 a month more than before.
But the real cost that would be interesting is time value: Does he really spends less time for the same feature?
I also submitted this earlier today prior to this submission, but it was flagged, which I was confused by, so glad this one got through.
This was an interesting article and brought some good points around the fact that the AI never has a continuing backward/forward-looking context about one's project. Perhaps these ideas are being thought about to potentially add as features of LLMs somehow without making it unfeasible from token/context perspective.
Your software is a wrapper around an already existing, widely used, extremely documented project and basically just extends SQLite with what could have been a regular extension.

No shit it's easy. So is a CRUD PHP service.
