Really interesting Alexander. You also explained it clearly so I understood about half of it! But that’s definitely on me and not you! Hope filmy is a great success 👍🏼

Thanks, Daniel! I tried not to be too technical. filmy is something I did to satisfy my curiosity, to see whether I could do it. Mission accomplished. ;)

Wow, dude, you went really deep on this. I think we have similar backgrounds and I’ve been considering throwing myself into the vibe coding fray. So glad I didn’t now! Reading your post, satisfied any curiosity and itch I might’ve had.

Too deep! LLMs can boost your productivity in certain non-critical coding aspects, perhaps, but I found it useless once your project reaches a certain complexity. Maybe in five years it will be different. "Claude: Analyse filmy you did 5 years ago. What have you learned since?"

Vvvv impressive, my friend. I don't understand Javascript at all, but it looks wonderful. Fantastic overview video. I've clicked on the GitHub link...

Thanks, Nathan! Much appreciate the restack! If you happen to check out the script, let me know what you think! :)

I’m blown away by the complexity of this. I had no idea you were a coder. Back in the ‘90s I was fairly adept at database programming, with a focus on things like Oracle, SQL, C++, Java, and Perl. But now I have trouble running apps on my phone. 😂

Thanks, Daniel! It did get quite complex in the end, and my coding days are long gone. So I thought I give this vibe coding thing a shot, see what „it“ can do!

About which part? Love LLMs? I borrowed the title from the satirical Dr. Strangelove.
