“I can't remember the last time I corrected it.”
“a lot of people experienced AI uh last year as ChatGPT adjacent thing, uh but you really had to look again, and you had to look as of December uh because things have changed fundamentally”
“My side projects folder is like extremely full with lots of random things and uh just I've been coding all the time.”
What’s in it
- How late-2024 models crossed into reliable agentic coding
- Why December felt like a stark, fundamental shift in AI usefulness
- One builder's dive into constant vibe-coding side projects
Clip transcript
of helpful. And then I would say December was this uh clear point where for me uh I was on a break, so I had a bit more time. I think many other people were similar. And uh I just start to notice that with the latest models uh the chunks just came out fine. And then I kept asking for more, and just came out fine. And then I can't remember the last time I corrected it. And then I was I just uh you know, trusted the system more and more. And then I was vibe coding. >> [laughter] >> And uh so it was kind of a I do think that it was a very stark transition. I think that a lot of people actually I tried to I tried to stress this on uh Twitter and or X because I think a lot of people experienced AI uh last year as ChatGPT adjacent thing, uh but you really had to look again, and you had to look as of December uh because things have changed fundamentally and uh especially on this like agentic coherent workflow that really started to actually work. Um and so I would say that um yeah, it was just that realization that really uh had me um go down the whole rabbit hole of just, you know, infinity side project. Uh my side projects folder is like extremely full with lots of random things and uh just I've been coding all the time. Uh so uh yeah, that kind of happened in December, I would say.
