So we are moving away from >1GB node_modules finally? Or is it too soon?

Brace yourselves, because this is only going to get worse with the current “vibe coding” trend.

Its going to be 1GB node_modules handled by garbage ai code
ai is only good at doing smaller scripts but loosing connections and understandment in larger codebases, combined with people who cant program well (i mean not only coding but debugging… as well) also called vibe programmers its going to be a messif a product claims it has vibecoding: find an alternative!

I’m losing my will to live lately at an alarming rate.
I used to love IT, way back at the start of 00s.
Soon after the 10s started, I noticed bullshit trends replacing one another… like crypto or clouds or SaaS… but now with the AI I just feel alienated. Like we’re just all going to hell, and I hate the first row seating.

At this point, I think it’s required to have a sort of alternate identity online and keeping anything private, photos of yourself and other information just offline. Except for government stuff, which requires your real identity.

I love feeding my bloated node_modules

Vibe coding is the current trend of having an LLM build your codebase for you then shipping it without attempting to understand the codebase.
Most developers are using LLMS to some extent to speed up their coding, as cursor and Claude are really good at removing toil. But vibe coders have the LLM build the entire thing and don’t even know how it works.

In other words, vibe coders are today’s technologically accelerated script kiddie.
That’s arguably worse as the produced scripts may largely work and come with even less demand for understanding than a script kid’s cobbling together of code may have demanded.

100% accurate.

Thanks. What is an LLM?

Large language models (LLM) are the product of neural networks, a relatively recent innovation in the field of computer intelligence.
Since these systems are surprisingly adept at producing natural sounding language, and is good at create answers that sound correct (and sometimes actually happen to be) marketers have seized on this as an innovation, called it AI (a term with a complicated history), and have started slapping it onto every product.

Large Language Model
To the extent of my understanding, it is a form of slightly more sophisticated bot, as in an automated response algorithm, that is developed over a set of data, in order to have it “understand” the mechanics that make such set cohesive to us humans.
With such background, it is supposed to produce new outputs if given new data sets to run though the mechanics it acquired during development.

A machine learning model that can generate text. It works by converting pieces of text to “tokens” which are mapped to numbers in a way that reflects their association with other pieces of text. The model is fed input tokens and predicts tokens based on that, which are then converted to text.

What is toil in this context?
spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 days ago
Boring/repetitive work. For example, I regularly use an AI coding assistant to block our basic loop templates with variables filled in, or have it quickly finish the multiple case statements or assigning values to an object with a bunch of properties.
In little things like that, it’s great. But once you get past a medium sized function, it goes off the rails. I’ve had it make up parameters in stock library functions based on what I asked it for.
