~~Meth~~ LLMs: Not Even Once

Yegge’s an extremely experienced professional engineer. So he put care into Gas Town, right?

I’ve never seen the code, and I never care to, which might give you pause.

This is a lack of care I've only really seen with vibe coding, and I still struggle to wrap my head around how someone can have an utter death of shits to give about something they're making (if you can even call vibe-coding "making"). Its particularly stark for me when I compare it to the many, many artists I know online, who care deeply about their craft, and whose artwork deeply reflects that.

Just...what the fuck?
