I’m tired of hearing about vibecoding on Lobsters, so I’ve written up three of my side tasks for coding agents. Talk is cheap; show us the code.

      I’ve started grading and his grade is ready to read. I didn’t define an F tier for this task, so he did not place on the tier list. The most dramatic part of this is overfitting to the task at agent runtime (that is, “meta in-context learning”); it was able to do quite well at the given benchmark but at the cost of spectacular failure on anything complex outside of the context.

      Vibe coding is of course a less than optimal process for the kind of tasks you’ve specified here

      Oh no, tasks that have actual concrete outcomes and requirements! Vibe coders biggest nemesis!

      Here’s something. It doesn’t follow your rules.

      Then why did you submit it, dipshit?

      Given your tone in these posts it seems unlikely to meet the kind of standards you are looking for.

      That “kind of standards” being basic competence.
