Unfortunately people are still not that smart or aware of the risks. They should be, but that's not the reality yet.

I recently saw a ~60k lines / 3mb .cpp file in one vibe coded project (and yes I was a bit horrified) Surprised it works at all but it apparently does. Not really for a human though and even for an LLM it would be more beneficial for it to be split up.

How about the human in the loop, or have we abandoned that long ago?

Oh no, not super promising. I only know learnt of Lumafield and I'm very impressed, would love to see more updates on what the company is up to.

It really does nail that aesthetic!

The careful vetting of code and thoroughly testing it is super important, I would never even think of putting any generated code into any use without doing that.

Also your last comparison made me chuckle, good one :)

This is a good point I think, and these steps take time and should definitely be done. I'm not sure people take this into account when talking about having AI code for them.

Depending on the setup this could be the case for JS as well but of course in reality most JS is compiled these days.

Wow, been a full stack webdev for over a decade and somehow I don't remember ever encountering this. Nice post!

Many of the WebUSB flashing tools work fine offline, so one can just save the web page locally and use it that way.

Monitor the process if it fails hide spinner, show the user an error and provide a Retry button to restart the process :)

Keep in mind that spinners can also be used (as well as other indicators) that something is being processed client side, e.g. rendering a video and if the total time can't be estimated a spinner is reasonable.
