Why? Is looking at the damn thing before you pay money on manufacturing that hard?
This baffles me about vibe coders too. You’re already saving a lot of time just look at the damn code and see if there’s any glaring mistakes.
Why are we treating AI assistance like it’s all or nothing? Why can’t we just have it help a little and still use our own skills?

Because uhm… profits and reduce value of human labor.
just look at the damn code and see if there’s any glaring mistakes.
Bold of you to assume they know what the code does…
I think the RAM debacle is going to flip the switch back away from all this vibe coded nonsense back to things being optimized to run on bare minimum hardware since you won’t me able to just throw more memory at the problem and say shit like “8gb minimum, 64gb recommended”
Because when you look you see how stupid and useless it is.
Why?
He says why in the next sentence. “see what happens”
Thought something this stupid was just for shits and giggles. Then I saw this is LinkedIn and he’s a senior product manager.
Haha the joke is on the rest of us
But is he doing that as a kind of joke to show how awful AI is for that task, while being an actually decent product designer/manager himself? I hope it’s the latter, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he drank the kool-AId

Me working like a schlub doing idiot things like “testing” and “verification”, while this guy moves into a Sr role
All three pins of that voltage regulator are shorted together. Not even sure how it’s possible to fuck up that badly.
Big news: My physical AI slop doesn’t do anything. Amazing!
Looks like a vital component of next Tesla car.
A new single AI chip controls the brakes, acceleration, and door locks:
($200/month subscription to keep it activated)
It is a pastiche of a circuit board, more than an actual board itself
I told the pastiche making machine to make a thing and it made a pastiche of a thing instead
I fully believe this story.
I can imagine the guy having to print this at the factory just pictures someone with schizophrenia making the board somewhere out there.
That C3 is vital to keep the voices out of the PCB.
“我们现在必须建立圈子。”
see I get doing this in a kind of research way but then if the V1 is this bad surely this should tell you to quit
Has he tried not wasting his time on stupid ideas?
PCBs are basically designed using graphic editors. The editors all have their own standards and don’t really import pure text pass the netlist. Simply importing from one to the other is quite painful.
It’s basically trying to build a really really complicated SVG and llms struggle with simple svgs. And that’s only the Gerber, there’s also the whole schematic that needs to be done first from which the Gerber is built from.
PCB design tools are basically made to make our lives easier and avoid mistakes, but it makes it incredibly difficult for any kind of LLM, even before we hit all the intricacies involved in it.
It’s only a matter of time until the PCBs match the usual vibe-code colours that you get in vibe-coded HTML, haha
Luckily, it’s a lot easier to train electronics inspectors than decent coders who can follow the whole system or module design. That should help for a bit but, man, to be the QA person looking at that atrocity…
Love this. Definitely no off the shelf parts exist for “I plug this in and a light turns on” so glad to see someone is working on creating this
When you need multiple attempts to replicate something that’s existed for decades… maybe what you’re trying to do doesn’t work!
Imagine trying to vibe design something complex.
“I’ll just have it make a Hello World to validate my workflow”
“Oh no”
ah, see here, the problem is, once again, rust. As usual. Claude probably isn’t trained on PCB like it’s trained on rust, and probably PCB doesn’t have something that validates correctness like rust, so that’s your problem. rust rust rust. this message brought to you by the Rust Defense Force.
