Possible? Yes. Likely? No.
ok. is it even remotely more cost-effective than doing the old-fashioned optimizing?
Probably not but maybe. It's a gamble that I'm guessing most MBAs would love to make!
i guess a better way is just make something less RAM heavy from the get go.
Good luck with that if it's being vibe coded.
i don't think vibe coding will be that sophisticated any time soon.
As long as they are based on LLMs, I don't think it ever will be. But it will get better at pretending it is and passing tests.
the more i know about LLM and their numerous issues the less enthusiastic i am about this whole current AI thing.
