← All IntelClip / AI ToolsLLMs are terrible at debugging — so founders reroll instead

Documents both the survey's biggest capability gap (debugging needs spoon-fed instructions) and the workflow it produced — Midjourney-style rerolling code from scratch rather than fixing bugs, because generation got 1000x cheaper.

architect and you want to solve systems problems oh and interestingly I guess um one thing the survey did indicate is that this stuff is terrible at debugging yeah and so you still the humans have to do the debugging still they have to figure out well what is the code actually doing here's a bug where's you know spot the bug where's the code path that you know we have some you know logic error you know just didn't figure this out right there doesn't seem to be a way to just tell it debug you were saying that you have to uh be very explicit like as if giving instructions to a firsttime software engineer you have to really spoon feed at the instructions to get it to to debug stuff or you can kind of Embrace The Vibes I'd say Andre karpathy style is just like ignore the bug and just like roll just like just like tell it to try again from scratch like it's it's wild how your coding style changes when actually writing the code becomes a THX cheaper like as a human you would never just like Blow Away something that you'd worked on for a long time and rewrite it from scratch because you had a bug You' you like you'd always fix the bug but like for the llm if you can just like rewrite a thousand lines of code in like six seconds like why not that's kind of like um writing you know taking the approach of uh you know how people use um Mid Journey or playground when you're trying to generate images like if there artifacts or things that I don't like sometimes I don't even change the prompt I just click roll and I do that five times and you sometimes it just works I'm like oh I can use that now which is very different frame of Building Systems because you're not building foundationally step by step you're really doing it from scratch because fundamentally what's going on is like all these tools today are coming from the world of a generated code that are in this latent space hidden somewhere and you have to do it from scratch to find like a different gradient and not get stuck and then you want to like add a bit of randomness get it to regenerate but I do think maybe I don't know whatever next generation of 05 maybe we'll get to the point that actually is able to build upon I mean as of right now I think most of it is you need to reroll and rewrite but it doesn't build upon it yet but we haven't seen any of
