"It simply will not fit the context window, and README files are of limited use."

I do not agree. And a much more interesting question is "How CAN vibecoders build for longevity?"

Vibecoders can't build for longevity

I published another blog post drawing parallels between structural engineering and software engineering.
This time I explain how the Limit State Design method helps structural engineers to design reliable structures while still building economical and how I think that relates to designing and building software systems.

Limit State Design

In the blogpost about structural idealization I explained how structural engineers model reality to answer the question whether their designed structure can withstand the forces applied to it. But how does an engineer know which forces will be applied to their structure? The weight of the structure can be approximated at best, and natural occurrences like wind or snow or a car crashing into the building are much harder to anticipate and quantify. And how does an engineer consider a car crashing into the structure while still building reasonably economical?

AI의 장기적인 코드 유지보수 능력을 평가하기 위한 새로운 테스트 ‘SWE-CI’를 중국 팀이 제안했다. 실제 개발 환경에서의 지속적 코드 관리 역량을 측정하려는 평가 방법으로, AI 코딩 모델 벤치마크에 의미 있는 보완이 될 수 있다.

🚀 The Odin Project: Learning Web Development the Hard (and Effective) Way

Most platforms try to make learning programming easy.
The Odin Project does the opposite — and that’s exactly why it works.
Instead of step-by-step tutorials, it pushes you to:

✔ Build real projects
✔ Read documentation on your own
✔ Solve problems independently
