Yeah exactly, "right way" is in quotes because there is no right way.

The most important thing is shipping/getting feedback, everything else is theatre at best, or a project-killing distraction at worst.

As a concrete example, I wanted to update my personal website to show some of these fully-vibecoded projects off. That seemed too simple, so instead I created a Rotten Tomatoes-inspired web app where I could list the projects. Cool, should be an afternoon or two.

A few yak shaves later, and I'm adding automatic repo import[0] from Github...

Totally unnecessary, because I don't actually expect anyone to use the site other than me!

lol. for whatever reason what came to mind is "it's like alcoholics anonymous". it's so liberating to be self-aware that we have a problem.

I JUST WANT TO CODE!

It gets us all. And it makes us better I think, to care about the craft. LLM people seem split on that. But it's both to me: gotta care about the craft, also as a professional, it's not the code, it's business outcomes. All good. hold two truths.
