I mean when I check my feed much of the Bluesky eng team seems to be posting about how great Claude is all the time so I have been background wondering how common vibecoding is in that ecosystem
Let's see if anyone on Bluesky / the ATmosphere can say more https://bsky.app/profile/dustyweb.bsky.social/post/3mg6qipl6a22o

Curious if vibecoding / AI agent assisted dev is currently common in ATmosphere dev? The feelings about AI generated code are def different on here than on fedi, so... I see a CLAUDE.md in bluesky-social/social-app https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app/blob/main/CLAUDE.md

Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff. In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast

I have this suspicion that the ATproto stack, at least the stuff from Bluesky, is heading towards "majority-vibecoded" but that's mostly just from seeing a lot of posts from the Bluesky eng team rather than me having spent much time in the codebase

Why is def hugely responsible for much of Bluesky/ATProto's design and if *he's* mostly letting Claude write 99% of his code, the rest of the eng team is likely to be heading in that direction too?

A year ago, I thought LLMs were kind of neat but not that useful. I saw the code autocomplete and thought, meh. Last summer just flipped. I never ever thought I would see automated code generation like we see now. I know there’s baggage but you need to know the coders are being real about this

Oh interesting, people who don’t know how to build software are getting mad at my post about building software. Cute. Let me be clear, over the next year, the job of software engineer will shift dramatically to no longer have typing syntax into an editor as its primary time sink.

@cwebber I'm really not a huge fan of how ready people seem to be to just completely relinquish their ability to code. It does not take long for your brain to wallpaper over entire skillsets.
@brad @cwebber People really seem to have their heads in the sand about this. Maybe you are able to use code agents effectively today, because you spent years getting yourself into shape. Is it really so inconceivable that in this new paradigm you might have to start going to the code gym to prevent decline?
@dvshkn @cwebber I really don't think people in general appreciate how quickly and permanently our brains are designed to adapt and remove things based on how we prioritize them. Even if you go to the code gym, if you're not using it in a way that grants material results, your brain will just donate that space to something else
@dvshkn @cwebber the book Live Wired (if you're into neuroscience/brain science/development) is pretty much entirely about this concept and there are multiple stories of people accidentally deleting entire skillsets of theirs during experiments
@dvshkn @cwebber in particular, one guy tries to add another sense by wearing a belt that vibrates on a gradient based on how North he's facing. After a couple of months, he realized that he no longer has the ability to map physical spaces in his mind AT ALL and it never came back after the experiment.
@brad @cwebber That's fascinating (and a bit scary). Thanks for the rec
