Every time I read one of these, I'm increasingly convinced that the whole AI crowd are just high as kites 24/7. Must be some good drugs in the valley

Gergely Orosz (The Pragmatic Engineer) interviewed Yegge [1] and Kent Beck [2], both experienced engineers before vibe coding, and they express similar sentiments about how LLMs reinvigorated their enjoyment of programming. This introduction to Gas Town is very clear on its intended audience with plenty of warnings against overly eager adoption. I agree that using tools like this haphazardly could lead to disaster, but I would not dismiss the possibility that they could be used productively.

Beck was in Melbourne a few weeks ago, and his take on LLM usage was so far divorced from what Yegge is doing that their views on what LLMs are capable of in early 2026 are irreconcilable.
