No doubt inspired by the recent sonnet 5.5 release demoing a murmuration of birds

Hi, I'm the creator. Not at all: I started this project completely by hand about a year ago, the first commit is from September 2025, you can check. Then I chose to speed up some features with automatic programming, otherwise I wouldn't have had the time

I wonder what is the value of such vibe coded programs. It can't be the implementation or engineering aspect at all, when generated by AI. Is it the idea? Should it be a tribute to Craig Reynolds in this case?

I guess all these programs are just ideas now, instead of a feat of engineering?

So more like a comment or idea shared at a social gathering, that anyone else might build on with their own in conversation. rather than the prior situation of code, where it is as if we were in wonder at the very fact of speech itself

At least that's my optimistic take. Though many might find the same thing a bummer.

There will still be poets, and those who admire them

> I wonder what is the value of such vibe coded programs.

It took weeks for me to code programs with no real value.

I think it's great that anyone with enough ambition can create software now.

Edit: I forked it and added a flake.nix just to see it in action and its awesome.
