Another response to Ptacek. "Vibe coding as contempt for materiality" part is particularly good.

In the spirit of "worse is better", here is a ublock filter I just threw together to highlight all the comments less than a day old:

! Jul 31, 2024 https://awful.systems
awful.systems##.comment article.comment-node :has-text("hours ago"):style(background-color:#7700AA)

EDIT: fix bug with 1 hour and 20 minutes ago. regex is even worse is better.
