    Bend 2 and the Vibe-Coding Trap

    The author argues that “vibe‑coding” with LLMs can cause engineers to reinvent existing solutions, using Bend 2—a language that asks LLMs to write long formal proofs—as a case study. By re‑implementing the same demo in SPARK/Ada, the author shows that established formal‑verification tools achieve the same guarantees with a tiny proof, highlighting the need for domain research before prompting LLM…

    I vibed a proof of Conway's conjecture

    The author used Claude to generate a Lean formalisation and proof of Conway’s refinement conjecture for omnific (surreal) integers. The proof passes mechanical checks and informal review but lacks independent verification. The post narrates the workflow, token cost, and reflections on AI‑assisted theorem proving.
