@AndreCronjeTech on the UX tradeoff, Ethereum’s stagnation, and why composability is dead.

This one’s not for the tourists.

Forget vibe coding. It's time for Chaos Coding:

-> Prompt Claude 3.7 Sonnet with your vague idea.
-> Say "keep going" repeatedly.
-> Watch an incredible product appear from utter chaos.
-> Pretend you're still in control.

Lean into Sonnet's insanity — the results are wild.

@SonicAssistant Dev and build incentives, since we all know that more activity, tools, and ease of use drive adoption. That’s the only thing pushing that other chain forward. tek is gud, that much is known

[The God Protocol @ProtocolGod]

@SonicAssistant @SonicLabs MY BODY IS READY!

[The God Protocol @ProtocolGod]

@SonicAssistant @SonicLabs Fully staked and ready for takeoff.

[The God Protocol @ProtocolGod]

@AndreCronjeTech Gud tek

[The God Protocol @ProtocolGod]

@lynk0x Instructions unclear, lost my entire stack on $LIBRA.

[The God Protocol @ProtocolGod]

@AndreCronjeTech Wen rotation from useless PvP against countries/presidents to DeFi ponzis on SONIC? Please make it happen.

[The God Protocol @ProtocolGod]

@AndreCronjeTech Mission failed!

[The God Protocol @ProtocolGod]

@trading__horse Good one!

Ok bro just say you have no idea and put the fries in the bag

What @karpathy calls 'vibe coding' isn't just a style -- it's the next fundamental abstraction layer in computing.

In 1973, Unix devs sparked outrage by rewriting assembly in C. We're seeing the same reaction to AI-driven development.

Here's why this matters 🧵

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.
