I like vibe coding. I've always hated bloated code bases with too many files, too many unnecessary abstractions, too many unnecessary utility functions... The AI is now dishing out punishment; giving people a taste of their own medicine. Complex codebases lead to complex buggy LLM code completions.

If I come across a fugly code base, I don't bother reading it, I just ask Claude what it's doing and I ask Claude to fix it. To me this is a huge advantage because my OCD prevented me from producing fugly code by hand but now I wield Claude like an automatic complexity gun.

Producing that kind of complexity when you know there exists a simpler way is demoralizing, but it's not demoralizing when an LLM does it because it's so low effort.

I just hated thinking about all this mind-numbing nonsense.
