I grew up as a programmer in the 2000s, in Java culture. The aesthetics were about elegance, understandable simplicity (the opposite of the Perl obfuscation awards), and lots of DRY.
In contrast, you have command line culture, which I suspect is a more dominate programming aesthetic nowadays.
It will become even more so as one off vibe scripts and apps spread. If it’s faster or just complete rewrite your code with AI, why bother to fix it?
Anyhow, this a great example of the aesthetic I’m talking about. What a great idea, I like it.
(I doubt that is vibe coded, to be clear.)
