is there examples of the sort of things that's been built with these systems? it often feels like complication and abstraction for its own sake

He's very transparent about his addiction to agentic coding. He's doing it for the giggles as far as I can tell. Trolling and being a personality. I don't mean that in a bad kind of assessment. He's said as much.

> his addiction to agentic coding

Why would it be an addiction versus obsession? Getting obsessed with something and building things around it, even if it's nonsense, is artistically genuine.

yeah that's true. i used the word addiction because i remember reading him using that exact word. and including tokens and llms alongside the rise of gambling and such.

but i could be wrong.

It could be either. The bigger critique that people have is that the entire thing is an obvious LARP. None of this is "built for enterprise" or deployed in common ops. This is a zero-risk, zero-judgement project where vanity PRs are encouraged so that another agent can take credit for the vanity fix.

Eh, plenty of people play with Sims. Having them do something that feels even tangentially useful has an understandable appeal.

That's fine, I also have side projects that do absolutely nothing useful. Most people are taking issue with the deluded "it's all so obvious" rhetoric used in Yegge's writing.

Thanks. This is helpful.

I don’t know. I have coding so much I got into technology management a decade ago. But I can’t read myself away from personal projects, it’s addictive in a way.
