People often ask me "How did you learn how to hack?" The answer: by reading. This page is a collection of the blog posts and other articles that I have accumulated over the years of my journey. Enjoy!

Vibe Coding is the practice of using an AI-assisted programmer to write all of the code without paying attention to whether it's correct or not. So, what's the term for a seasoned professional who uses AI to accelerate their work? Productivity with LLMs on non-toy projects is actually very hard to do correctly. The author proposes that we call this vibe engineering.

LLMs actively reward existing top-tier software engineering. By forcing the LLM to write tests, you can quickly figure out if something works or not. A good test suite really benefits the AI and you're sanity on the code. Another way to be better is to Plan in Advance. Providing the AI with a detailed plan of how you want a particular task done will significantly enhance the output.

Comprehensive Documentation greatly heps AI. Whether it's just a subset of a codebase, documentation for a library or something else, allowing the LLM to read relevant documentation goes a long ways.

LLMs are apparently amazing at Git. They can navigate the history to find the origin of bugs. Effective automation provides good impact as well. Linters and CI/CD help find bugs quickly.

The most important thing to me is a culture of code review at the company. This makes sure bad code isn't added at the organizational level. From a personal level, this means reviewing the code that the LLM writes for bugs and correctness.

A good article on what needs to be done well in order to be a good usage of LLMs when programming.
