Open Discussion Recording: Confessions of a Vibe Coder

For those of you that could not make yesterday's open discussion on vibe coding and using the Claude LLM, we have posted a recording of the event to the SEA Youtube Channel. As always, discussion notes from the event have also been uploaded.

You can find links to all notes and recordings in our Open Discussions page. As the yearly Improving Scientific Software Conference will take place in early April, we will not have an SEA event, but stay tuned for future announcements after ISS.

If you would like to suggest a Discussion topic, or volunteer to lead a discussion, reach out to the SEA Steering Committee.

Upcoming SEA Discussion: Confessions of a Vibe Coder

On March 11^th at 10 AM MT, the UCAR SEA will host an open discussion in which we take an informal look at the potential and pitfalls of using LLMs as code contributors and collaborators. Ben Kirk, from NSF NCAR’s Computational and Information Systems Laboratory (CISL) will facilitate the discussion. Over the past few months, Ben has used the Claude LLM to tackle an unexpected challenge: modernizing the Systems Accounting Manager - the backbone of NSF NCAR’s HPC allocation accounting - becoming a relative subject matter expert in database programming in the process. Ben will describe his experiences using Claude and other LLMs, and then open up the floor to discussion. We hope you’ll join us and bring your own LLM coding anecdotes, observations, and questions.
