Is this something that was already part of web dev or is it new?

This user also appears to have a Reddit account from 3 years ago where they claim to be a half human cyborg.

I think that's all I need to know, personally.
Everything else was written by hand and I made sure to not use AI even for structure (which I usually do)
It's settled. Either I use AI or not people will always say the same thing
It's just slop. Acknowledge, move on, and find something better to spend your time on.
We're in a weird uncanny valley state of AI writing where it's barely comprehensible, but makes people feel productive so they shove it everywhere, including where it's not needed.
At some point, either:
1. People will realize that this is a waste of time
2. Models will get better and this will be remembered as a blip in history
And you, as a human, were not meant to read it - you're supposed to instead feed it back into your own AI agent and have it create a groundbreaking new AI startup based on it. Give it your Cloudflare credentials, sit back, sip a latte, and within an hour or two you'll have a beautiful, fully functional website, complete with fancy fonts, 30 different "No X. No Y. Just Z" taglines, and a $20 monthly subscription, ready to show off to investors. You'll be a highly successful entrepreneur by the end of the week.
I feel like this post didn't teach me anything I didn't already know or have an intuition about.
Essentially the tests are just for the AI to remember what they did (as in the description + break if they change smth unintentionally).
The only grind is still just do you know the subject matter, tools and frameworks, etc. because that’s the knowledge that lets you look at the output and say “this is fine” or “this is absolutely the worst implementation I’ve ever seen try again but do X”.
In my experience adding on multiple layers of controls etc aside from basic skills is essentially as useful as a ring of salt and a live offering.
Wish i could filter ALL of these, not just those with the medium website
The entire stack feels overkill for a repo that has 2 followers and 29 stars.
I also am probably not the target demographic though, I just download things that I want to preserve and completely forget about them in a folder called 0_archive.
I just feel like in 2013 some fella would have had this project running on an old laptop in his garage hooked up to FTP and the uptime would be comparable.
I also love when AI adds tidbits like this:
> and staging has to pass before prod deploys.
Thanks for the clarity on that, Claude, you read my mind.
Maybe most devs are not interested in how to build stable infra and just vibe code
I think a thin layer on notmuch would get you pretty close without so much infrastructure.
On the web scraping side, scrapling seems to pretty much just work. There hasn't been a website yet it won't load in some mode--even Google SERP.
Also, I'm really not sure this bookmark project/website/extension would require 6 months of Claude with 6 of them running continuously to build.
Did we forget to insert the real number?
Author comes off as diligent, intelligent and dedicated... but might gain some credibility by having real humans read and proof the copy.
I hate to sound cynical, but I don't know if bragging about being AI-native is something any of us should be doing. We're really just pulling a lever on a slot machine and crossing our fingers.
tbf, I've seen these kind of tests as well at $dayjob, written by humans before gpt was a thing. That doesn't invalid your point. But it's still funny that we expect the machine to be perfect, before it can do something for us.
We expect machines to be perfect at the things they should be perfect at, and when they aren't perfect we consider that a malfunction and try to make them closer to perfect. A calculator that can't do math correctly every time is a bad calculator. And until LLMs came along computers were just complicated calculators.
Now, however, we build the calculator with an LLM and just accept that it sometimes gets confuzzled and makes numbers up because "humans are no better at math."
It's not funny, it's the way things used to work and it's objectively worse that things can't work that way anymore.
Me neither but we now have a likert scale on our performance review for it...
