"One more pull on the AI and maybe it will figure it out for you. You won't understand how any of it works, of course, or feel particularly proud of what you've done, but maybe you'll have something. Just a few more dollars for some more tokens. C'mon, just pay a bit more."

Another #blaugust micro.blog post (less than 320chars). I hope I'm forgiven :-)
In my defence I was vibe coding something I'm writing a real post about.
And vibe coding is quite addictive. I'm not the one to come up with the slot machine comparison, but I wanted to say that it can be true and still be a good thing.

The other addictive things I do is

1. Drink coffee
2. Play video games

Neither which creates anything useful.
