A vibe programmer that built a palm-sized fusion reactor in a cave over the course of 3 months with a single companion? Perfectly respectable to me. And he probably made his own AI too :)

I've always imagined peak programming as building up from low level languages, putting on some layers of abstraction and automatization written by yourself, and end up writing some trivial commands to produce very interesting outputs... Who knows? Maybe throwing around some holograms and voice-commands asking for nonsense. It doesn't get much more vibey than that.

Programming in vim and emacs does look like that lol.
