@MattRose I think it has more to do with Guy Steele being involved in Lisp, where any programme is an evaluated list of instructions, which - homoiconity! - can themselves be modified just like any other list of data. That's what makes Lisp's macro system so incredibly powerful. *edit:* fight non-English autocorrect@blog
@sue This is my confusion when I talk to people who have been "learning vibe coding" I have them describe what they did and it seems they have an LLM write some provisional code for them then they revise it and fine tune it so that it does what they want. Which is just... coding. Do they think people code without looking at examples, libraries, specifications?If they don't do that second part then they probably don't have a program that does what they want and they did not do any coding.
a photo I took under one of the newly replaced St. John’s bridge Gothic arch supports. from this spot, you feel/hear different passing motor vehicles vibrate the bridge like a stringed instrument. semis are big bass, the order of cars syncopates and strums
