Some of these projects are at a "real business with a live site and users". Two of the current ones are.
And it's not remotely "YOLO vibe coding". All the code gets reviewed, and tested thoroughly, and they are worked to specs, and gated by test suites.
What I don't do is babysit the LLM until it's code passes both the test suite and automated review stages, because it's a waste of time.
Others of these projects are research tasks. While I wrote this comment, Claude unilaterally fixed a number of bugs in a compiler.
To be clear, Claude probably also introduced the bugs?
I tried to use an appropriate emoji to express the joking nature of this comment, but HN silently filtered it out, so pretend you see a grinning face.
No, Claude did not introduce the bugs. I caused the bugs, years ago, and didn't have time to pursue the project for a long time. Claude fixed them by being handed unfinished, broken code and a test suite and told to make the tests pass.
Ah, that's great. I've also found LLM agents extremely helpful for reviving old projects.
