Which is where the "emacsification" analogy breaks for me.
replyThe reason people who like emacs write their one-off program in emacs is that it is an extraordinarily introspectable and debuggable programming environment. There is no "code, compile, run" loop - you just write code against the live running environment. Devoid of that fast feedback loop, writing code just isn't as much fun.
Well taken, but for MANY years, I copied and pasted elisp snippets off stackoverflow without understanding any of it. And to this day, there as many xkcd-style "space heaters" as there are emacs users. OP's point stands that LLMs make possible a new generation of quicker, dirtier hacks destined for the cruft heap.
replyWhat were the three?
replyI built a vibe coding replay/inspection tool https://vibe-replay.com/
I built a co-work for cursor, I haven't publish that yet
I also built something combined activity watch and screen pipe, that provide `what did I do` context to LLM, this one didn't end up very well, still an interesting exploration though
replyNot OP:
- One shotted script that I schedule through cron that sends me a message when a new one piece manga chapter releases.
- Also a simple script that moves my cursor one pixel every 30 seconds. Cannot disclose why I need this.
