I run Claude all day, and produced some good shit, but I'll admit to being thoroughly embarrassed that I haven't looked at it all, won't make it public, won't put my name on it, won't pick a license. I'm depressed about the whole thing and might take it up with a therapist.
My eyes are still rolling from GP's comment:

I vibe code myself to sleep and implemented a rewrite of civ1 in Common Lisp. It works well, has all the DOS nostalgia I wanted (uses the same sprites etc.) 10/10 will continue doing this kind of shit.
"I" code impressive shit with the LLM, but after the initial push to github, I find I hate myself and I'm deeply miserable with what it produced since it was not mine. My "ah-ha" moment has been that misery.
Recently started an embedded hardware/software job. Shipping firmware to the manufacturer feels like that for the device classes that have no internet.
At some point I could disassemble 8086 (16 bit x86/real mode) as a kid. Byte sequences like 31 C9 or 31 C0 were a sure way to know if a loop of some kind was being initialized. Even simple compilers at the time made the mov xx, 0 → xor xx, xx optimization.
