pangram v4 model says 100% of this article was LLM-generated.
pangram v4 reports a 0.0041% false-positive rate (~1 in 24,000 human texts) and a 0.3396% false-negative rate (~1 in 294 AI texts)
and i also think it was AI generated
Re:"Code was never the hard part" is an insult to all programmers

i think it's misunderstanding what people mean when they say that. i understand this as - bad code + good marketing == money. good code + bad marketing == no money. code isn't the bottleneck.

Mr. Rand, not just goods and services. also anything that taxes pay for, done by younger people than you. roads laid, cleaned, police, firefighters, public parks, etc. deal or no deal? there is no third option. if you're really mad about it i can make up a third option specially for you but you won't like it, probably.

it's fun but PLEASE watch out for malicious code/supply chain attacks from random vibe-coded .sh scripts:
downloads other scripts (peon.sh, uninstall.sh) and executes them or places them where they will be executed later
edits your ~/.bashrc and ~/.zshrc files to add aliases and tab completion
parses a remote JSON file to get filenames ($sfile) and then does: curl ... -o "$INSTALL_DIR/packs/$pack/sounds/$sfile"
