I see screens full of text at #sapteched. Then paste a prompt (how long did you need to come up with it). Wait for the LLM to spit out pages of response. Then the user says “looks about right. Approve” 😂 Vibing the Enterprise Will this really improve your bottom line?

Dear @bsky.app Why does your app indent my replies to my own posts? It would be much nicer if these all showed straight down without indentation. Also your app would not run out of space to the right when there are more than 5 replies in a row. 🙏

Will we live in a world where software is essentially bug free? Will AI fix bugs faster than it finds new ones? 🤔

It’s a bit surprising that LLMs do fairly well with ABAP given the lack of public training data. What do you think? - public open-source ABAP is sufficient for training - ABAP is like English therefore easy for LLMs - SAP gave « ABAP data » to the big AI companies for training

Will programming languages that can be formally verified save the day? One AI builds, a different AI proves Like Lean for Math but we need it for the complete stack (maybe including hardware, too)

Marc Bernard
@marcf.be

How is it possible that gigantic projects "switch" to a different programming language... in a few months, not years? AI can migrate code with relative ease now, but that's not it... It's the fact that these projects have high quality tests and excellent test coverage! 1/2

Marc Bernard
@marcf.be

Lesson: If you want to go faster in your migration projects, from one DB to another, on-prem to cloud, TypeScript to Rust, ERP to S/4, invest in testing first. Then everything else will become a lot easier. 2/2

I might go insane... Can someone please confirm that a stream like this has been calculated by some computer and mathematical formulas? I understand a how LLMs work, but how these machines are implementing something incredibly complex that has afaict not existed before is just mindbogling 🤯

Marc Bernard
@marcf.be

The replies I'm getting sound like they are coming from a world expert on cryptography who's a SAP Basis admin and an ABAP coder with 20 years of experience. Tbh, I don't look at the code. Neither do I read the chat! I don't understand half of it. But we make a great team 😄

We know exactly what works: • Rapid fossil fuel phase-out • Massive renewable expansion • Nature restoration • Fair climate finance Emissions are still rising, but the tools to reverse this exist. The only missing ingredient is political will. Demand better. Vote better. Act better.

AI is such a bad liar I was asking for a bad weather event earlier this year, it found a story from 2022 and projected it to AUGUST 27-28, 2026 🤣 #perplexity

The revolution is one the way Open Source for the win The point is not vibe coding but whether such projects can turn into a well functioning and supported solution. But then how many want to self host? Most won’t so there’s still services to offer that users will pay for canivibecodeit.com

The magic of abaplint and AI This time I prompted it but with system instructions (ie "run abaplint after every change") it will automatically take care of syntax, style, and coding conventions. PS: Cursor agent with auto "mystery" model, ~130k tokens, 13 files, +1362, -266
