@mmphosis oh God I just noticed the footnote where he admits he tried to debug something and made it a whole 20 minutes before "consulting" the LLM. Truly a Zen master of Programmer Mind.

i hope eventually the dopamine rush of the code slop slot machine fades and you look around and find yourself in a morass of technical debt and realize how utterly fucking wrong you were

and for the record i'm not talking about making code to create art like a game or something. i'm saying *the code itself* can be art. a perfectly constructed api, a framework that fits together just so, when code comes together in a beautiful harmony, *that is art*, it requires artistry to create!

i don't know what AI brainrot has made otherwise prolific and proficient coders think that there's suddenly no distinguishing factors between good code, code written with artistry, and bad code, but it's baffling when this is a thing that we can measure and have measured in the past and they fucking know it
