I asked Codex to fix several files which were not compiling. It deleted the content of each file and replaced it with a message "... temporarily disabled while syntax is updated." 🤦🏻‍♂️

Vibe projects which LLMs (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, Ollama) failed miserably at:

- Create a new CI/CD DSL using Lua
- Create a new general purpose language using Rust
- Try using Zig instead of Rust
- Add self-hosted bootstrapping in C
- Create a retro RPG using V
- Try using Lua instead
- Implement ADK in Pony using Actors

All of them get to a certain point, then stop making progress. Even lied about completing tasks, or lied about the code working.

Been vibe coding a new programming language for the past month, for fun. Each LLM has been involved until they all crash or fail. Switched to local Ollama, told it to review the repo. It's first response: "What a massive and complex project!" 😂

Had to cancel my Anthropic Claude Code subscription. Quality has been abysmal for the past week. Ran into a show-stopping bug, entered a GH issue and found it was reported 2 months ago; no activity

Tried using #GPT5 yesterday and today for coding. Not great; I had to switch back to Claude Code (Sonnet 4). A few notes about GPT5:
- Very slow
- Refuses to test the code it generates. Cannot run tests or REPL in my environment. Sandboxed?
- Doesn't follow my instructions well.
