Not to make everything about AI, but..

The current analogy I am using when vibe coding is it's like defragging a hard drive in terms of time wasted.

Years of sitting there as the bar crept closer to 99 in the vain hope I could turn the computer off and go to bed, just to have to sit there for another hour or so until finished.

So many late nights wasted doing, I'm not sure what.

And now I'm sat there waiting for the agent to come back..

Running for 17m.. "dealing with a complex response"..

Codex (GPT5.6) has me hooked on that loop moreso as it is, in practice, so much quicker than Claude (Opus or Fable), so I don't quite ever walk away.

Nostalgia.
