"I'm sorry, Iñigo, I didn't mean to vibe it so hard."
But seriously: as an attorney, I find that this writing perfectly reflects what I imagine it must be like to live inside the head of someone who agentic-vibe-codes for a living. It's all over the map; pulled (and pulling the reader) in a dozen different directions; non-standard; mixing metaphors and idioms; likely 20x longer than it ought to be; and almost able to figure out its own point in the pastiche as it flails around.
I imagine that the coding results of the process described would be similar. Would that be an accurate prediction?
- ameliaquining 1y agoThe author has been blogging about software development for I think 20 years or so, and has long had a somewhat freewheeling style. So I don't think this is attributable entirely to the subject matter.
- swah 1y agoI wonder if his writing got weaker this last decade, or just the style got passé and isn't appreacited anymore? I remember LOVING his essays and those last ones I kinda feel nothing. Maybe its with me, I'm not feeling that much anymore. Also, after explaining how society is moving at extraordinary pace, you write a book, and don't even have a link yet? I feel exactly like him though (old) but trying to join the fun.
