"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?

The 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.
