"By plotting the sun’s position for a given location and time, users can check if lighting in an image matches reality. This can help flag AI-generated or manipulated images, which often get light direction and time wrong."

fcpguruon Meta's Smart Glasses Might Make You Smarter

fcpguruon Vibe coding has turned senior devs into 'AI babysitters'

"all the work is investigation and debugging" - Yes! Exactly you can ask the AI a bunch of questions first and really dig into what the codebase currently does. Then spend the time crafting that prompt that explains how to surgically do what needs to be done. If you are watching it every min like a hawk you are doing it wrong. You need to watch it more like a VERY smart junior dev and trust but verify. I'm not saying it's easy to get good at these new skill sets. But simply throwing your hands up and saying "I'll just walk everywhere vs using a bicycle" isn't a strategy that's going to work well.

fcpguruon Vibe coding has turned senior devs into 'AI babysitters'

sounds like bad 1 and then bad execution of 2. If you do 1 and 2 well you get a PR for 3 that is NOT like working with a junior dev.

fcpguruon Vibe coding has turned senior devs into 'AI babysitters'

not at all. I'm happy to provide the prompts. Let's just agree on what 2+ weeks coding problem we are trying to solve first. If I just pick one and show you the prompt I used you'll say "no way would that have taken over 2 weeks."

fcpguruon Vibe coding has turned senior devs into 'AI babysitters'

let's work backwards. Send me a task you agree is weeks of work and then I'll show you a prompt.

fcpguruon Vibe coding has turned senior devs into 'AI babysitters'

These are the questions I ask engineers now:

Q1. How well do you prompt?

Q2. How reactionary are you to canceling a running prompt as soon as you see a wrong turn?

Q3. How well do you author PRs without ever saying "well AI did that part." Do you own your PRs?

Re: 1. It's a new skill set. Some engineers are not good at it. Some are amazing. And some are out of this world. You can spend a few minutes crafting a prompt that's so thorough, so well thought out but also succinct and to the point. How it touches on all the possible unknowns the AI might have as it works through the task and has direction. An out of this world prompt gets you between 90% and 95% completely done with a task that before AI would take weeks.

Re: 2. You can do very well with the first prompt but the whole other side of this is watching the AI work. Knowing when to watch very closely, and when it's okay to multi-task. Know when you immediately press ESC and tell the AI exactly what you just saw you didn't like. Catching it quickly is like early detection of cancer. You can save the rest of your day by preventing some messy dead ends before they even happen.

Re: 3. Not everyone on the team will be using AI to the level the Jedi are. And personal responsibility for your code, 90% AI generated or 0%, is still your responsibility. Once you make your PR and ask for feedback, you should no longer be able to say "oh I didn't write this part." Yes you did. No one on the team needs to know what % AI your PR was. And you don't need to know theirs.
