@alanonai: You know that feeling when AI builds you a working feature in thirty seconds and it feels like magic? That part is real. But here is the puzzle nobody talks about. If AI is this good at writing code, why do so many AI built projects fall apart the second you add one more feature? I figured out why, and it is simpler than you would think. AI is incredible at producing outputs. A function, a test, a component. But an application is not a pile of outputs. It is a system. It is the relationships between all those pieces, and whether they hold up over time and under pressure. Here is the line I keep coming back to. AI generates outputs. Engineers create systems. The generation got fast. The judgment is still yours. And the gap between a great demo and a real app is almost always a gap in judgment, not generation. That is what my whole new series is about. If you build with AI, this will save you real pain. Go read the full article. Link in the comments. #ai #vibecoding #coding #programming

I couldn't agree more and I use Codex near daily. AI does NOT build cohesive systems. It hard codes redundancy which causes a ton of bugs at scale

I’m developing a harness to help those gaps. Check it out, if you can. It’s in early in development, I would like your opinion: https://github.com/JrSneed28/TwinHarness

Hey Alan I need you to know this but technically, you are Director for me and my AI I guess because for a while I’ve had told my Claude code to scrape your articles whenever they appear on your website and ingest them into our own system and let me approve them on our roadmap screen, but we have been using your information automatically because we regarded you as a good source so I guess I want you to know that other people probably do the same thing and have already set up your articles as an auto upgrade tool I guess so what you wish for lol and thank you Alan all the best
