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 especially love the third task because that's exactly the kind of shit you get thrown on your plate in the field as a SWE.

There's been some work an old member of our team did a year ago. No one remembers what it was, but it is important. Please do something.

That's almost exactly one of the first tasks I got as an intern when I was starting out. THIS is what they are saying LLMs are going to replace.
