Since you put such emphasis on “better”: I’d still like to have an answer to the one I posed. Yours would be a reasonable follow-up question if we noticed that their vibed projects are utilities already available in the ecosystem. 👍

So if it can be vibe coded, it’s pretty much certainly already a “thing”, but with some awkwardness. Maybe what you need is a combination of two utilities, maybe the interface is very awkward for your use case, maybe you have to make a tiny compromise because it doesn’t quite match. Maybe you want a little utility to do stuff with media. Now you could navigate your way through ffmpeg and mkvextract, which together handles what you want, with some scripting to keep you from having to remember the specific way to do things in the myriad of stuff those utilities do. An LLM could probably knock that script out for you quickly without having to delve too deeply into the documentation for the projects.

What if I can find it but it’s either shit or bloated for my needs?

I built a MAL clone using AI, nearly 700 commits of AI. Obviously I was responsible for the quality of the output and reviewing and testing that it all works as expected, and leading it in the right direction when going down the wrong path, but it wrote all of the code for me. There are other MAL clones out there, but none of them do everything I wanted, so that’s why I built my own project. It started off as an inside joke with a friend, and eventually materialized as an actual production-ready project.

making something quick that kind of works is nice… but why even do so in the first place if it’s already out there, maybe maintained but at least tested? In a sense, this is what LLMs are doing for you: regurgitating stuff that’s already out there. But… they are “bright” enough to remix the various bits into custom solutions. So there might already be a NWS API access app example, and a Waveshare display example, and so on, but there’s not a specific example that codes up a local weather display for the time period and parameters you want to see (like, temperature and precipitation every 15 minutes for the next 12 hours at a specific location) on the particular display you have. Oh, and would you rather build that in C++ instead of Python? Yeah, LLMs are actually pretty good at remixing little stuff like that into things you’re not going to find exact examples of ready to your spec.
