However, with very actively developed libraries and frameworks, I often run into the problem of LLM tools generating code for deprecated interfaces, or mixing the APIs of different versions.
By using explicit, detailed prompts, (and good ol' GIT to fall back on, so I can try again when I fail), I have been successful.
It depends on your skills level. For trivial beginner stuff, it's OK but then again.
For anything out of mainstream which no or very few examples are available for the model to train, it's pretty much useless.
I agree with you. I find it also true that free, open-source frameworks with tons of documentation and examples on GitHub/gitlab and the 'net work well with artificial intelligence. Especially Drupal because it is so heavily API driven (14 major APIs I think, last time I asked AI to list them all). The major LLMs, especially Claude are well-trained on both Drupal and Ansible in my experience. So go vibe-code a website and deploy it using Configuration As Code.
Especially after January when DrupalCMS 2 is released, (In beta over the seasonal holidays). Here's more information about DrupalCMS.
I also agree with you skill helps, (and probably makes all the difference the world). My long-term concern about the market was best said by Joey Ramone: "lack of skill dictates economy of style".

...They're still investing billions in AI
You just clarified where the money is going to, as opposed to hiring Stanford CS grads.
To back up your point, last week Fox News said we should all buy re-usable artificial Christmas trees so that land can go to data centers.
Kinda seems like the grifter just shot himself in the foot again.
Hegseth double-tapped it for him.
Kegsdeath double-tapped it for him.
News I get is some big airlines performed all updates in an evening and are back to normal, but a small fraction of planes will take much longer time. I assume these are the oldest planes and they need specialised hardware for the update (e.g. floppy disks, emulators).
Schiphol handles a lot of those Airbus planes every day. From the moment I heard about this immediate requirement at roughly midnight UTC Friday/Saturday I followed all the flight departures for Saturday and only about 4 flights were cancelled.
I didn't bother to check what aircraft they were because 4 cancelled flights seems about normal on any given day for all I know. I checked several times throughout Saturday. Schiphol has many, many flights every day.
Just out of interest, did DOGE go after the FAA at any time?
February 27, 2025
New York CNN —
Elon Musk said Thursday that Verizon’s efforts to provide a critically needed upgrade to the FAA’s air traffic control system is failing. And he said that it is important that Starlink, a unit of his SpaceX satellite and rocket company, take over.
“The Verizon communication system to air traffic control is breaking down very rapidly,” he said in a post on his social media platform X. “The FAA assessment is single digit months to catastrophic failure, putting air traveler safety at serious risk.”
“The situation is extremely dire,” Musk added.
It was not immediately clear what FAA risk assessment Musk was referring to in his post.
Verizon has a massive $2.4 billion contract to provide a long-sought upgrade to the FAA’s communications system, known as the FAA Enterprise Network Services, or FENS, program. Asked about Musk’s statement, the FAA issued a statement saying “Regarding the FENS program, no decisions have been made.”

Elmo has given many hundreds of millions of dollars to keep Trump from dying in prison and was rewarded with DOGE chainsaw status for his gesture. Elmo isn't exactly philanthropic, and the first thing he did was kill USAID just because USAID was investigating its relationship with Starlink.
Thank you for your excellent explanation, which I especially appreciate since I have been an open-source developer for quite a while now, with a fair amount of experience working for the Feds. The economics are different, as you make clear to me.
The taxpayers paid for the goods along with their research and development. That fact alone should give the taxpayers more rights than the defense contractors.
That's also an argument for funding Ukraine, (R&D among other reasons like the furtherance of democracy and stuff).
From 1996:
shame if something was to happen to it! This has common sense written all over it - after all the UK for example used to be heavily forested and it seems hardly fair to make other countries freeze development at some arbitrary level/time. You just know this is just going to devolve into greenwashing and extortion though!
This is a serious plan to pay the state government to literally do nothing, and to value nature and habit, and to enforce this understanding into the future. This means the value of doing nothing is greater than the value of development which is only worthy of a short term valuation.
We will have solar energy as soon as the utility companies solve one technical problem -- how to run a sunbeam through a meter.
