@jplebreton apologists in my mentions constantly telling me that software is functional and not artistic expression, that nobody cares about whether AI produced software they just care "if it works", meanwhile commentators on YouTube who _very_ clearly have no idea how software is produced are starting to call anything that looks like buggy shovelware "vibe coded"
@jplebreton I really do not want to be on the side of "social consensus is always correct" when it very much isn't, but when all of society rapidly forms a *new* consensus about something, it's important to look at that and ask, why does everyone think this all of a sudden? what is motivating them to do so?

@pikesley @jplebreton Buggy Shovelware and Vibe Coder are the two newest and least likable members of the Night Watch
