www.xda-developers.com/linus-used-ai-bug-llm-critics-face-choice/LLMs suck at writing code, but they are absolutely amazing at reading code and finding bugs. I am firmly against the usage of LLMs to write anything, but they have a place as a diagnostics tool when verified by a human.

There are already several large projects that have hundreds of thousands of users and those projects were almost completely vibe coded. It’s almost the entire retro “recomp” scene now.

I have done several smaller projects with it, and they have been stable / performant for months - better than similar stuff I coded years earlier and spent 5-10x the effort on.
