We’re living in a golden age of vibe-coded fairy-gifts, marvels appear hourly which are not the product of any human mind. They may do more or less what’s promised, though may blow up in weird and random ways or have stupid bugs, inefficiencies or security holes that no thinking author would have signed off on. Eventually, like all fairy gold, they turn to straw: if they don’t fall apart under use, there’s no way to update or improve a dense blob of LLM-extruded code when specs or requirements change, so you just throw when away and implore the LLM fae to send a new one.
