Author unapologetically uses AI. They just want people to put effort into it beyond posting the first result of a generic prompt.

After all the post ends with "This website is vibe coded; it looks cute tho. It’s just that these people don’t put ANY effort into making it even look mildly good"

Monospace fonts are dead to me. If this trend continues, there's a 50/50 chance I'll be coding in Times New Roman this time next year.

I've known people advocating for proportional fonts for source code for a long time (many of them also in the literate programming camp). It would be funny if LLM slop was the final aesthetic push over the last few hurdles there to making it more common.

woof, that's pretty bad. Even looking at the repos I get the LLM README.md stank.

It takes one to know one.

But this looks really good. Great contrast, simple and quiet, background image does not take up the whole page, the only thing really wrong is the animations. It's proof that slop can be turned into gems by someone with an eye for it.
