This is doing more to keep me away from "vibe coding" than anything else. Look, I'm genuinely interested in using AI as a tool and trying to boost my productivity in any way possible - I equate this to activities from the past like learning shortcuts of my editor, learning to type fast, and so on - but, the almost persuasive nature of this README, just pushes me away. Not to mention using lines of code as a metric of…

Interesting. Is he a known user? Also curious if you are more broadly against some of that overall?
I don’t know. What I do know is that he shares a similar insane accelerationist / libertarian philosophy that is popular in certain drug-fueled circles within tech. Proof here: https://48hills.org/2024/05/the-alarming-agenda-of-the-big-m...

I have written 600 THOUSAND lines of production code. The best and most beautiful production code. The agents negotiate. They want to make a DEAL. I am the best deal maker in the world. Thank you for your attention to this matter! -- GJT
Remember when we all agreed writing more code was a bad thing? "Code is a liability", Jeff Atwood's posts about it, "lines of code is a bad metric", etc?
It seems so far ago, doesn't it?
We live in a new reality now. One where MOAR is better and size does matter.

If you can call a ketamine soaked, amphetamine-fried tangle of nerves a brain.

Just in case you're not aware, Garry Tan, then author of TFA, is YCombinator's current CEO and someone who, while cosplaying as a "moderate", at least subscribes to right-wing ideas (some of them pretty fringe, read the article in another comment).
Scary times. It's like we are suddenly surrounded by sociopathic tech entrepreneurs CEOs.
In the last 60 days I have written over 600,000 lines of production code No you haven't.
This is a major software engineering lesson that Garry's LLM-addled brain has apparently forgotten: measuring progress in LoC is not something that is done anymore because it's a bad metric!
Omg, this is like god mode. edit: There's a few funny threads on other social media. Honestly, though, let a guy get excited, when you find new ways of using new tech; he's one of the lucky 10,000 who has discovered prompt scaffolds. There are better, bespoke tools for more targeted tasks.

They became confident enough in their plan to take their masks off. And they are almost definitely collaborating with the very old circles of power who have been poisoning and enslaving people for centuries.
I've been using gstack for the last few days, and will probably keep it in my skill toolkit. There's a lot of things I like. It maps closely to skills I've made for myself. First, I appreciate how he implemented auto-update. Not sure if that pattern is original, but I've been solving it in a different-but-worse way for a similar project. NOT a fan of how it's being used to present articles on Garry's List. I like the…
I took the time to read through your most recent posts, and it tracks with your attitude towards slop in general.
