Genuinely of the best reasons to build a tool tho? "I had a problem X, so I did nothing and kept complaining (without LLM)" would be pretty tiring to me personally
The problem is that anyone can type "I have this problem, plz fix" into Claude Code.
What unique insight or skill did they bring to the process? That's the interesting part. Otherwise it's just a small part of a huge sea of people's individual attempts to solve the same problems that everyone else is solving by themselves.
These kinds of trivial CLI vibes tools save an evening and some tokens. And sometimes it’s also not something you think of, or done with better or worse taste than your own. I think it’s nice
Indeed. Pre-LLM this kind of thing was a little interesting because you'd need to put a little thought and effort in whereas now it's a one-shot thing straight from an LLM. Don't be a slop proxy, as the saying goes.
At least it's not rewriting stuff in Rust.

Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.
Hi Claude, please build a tool for analyzing Claude token usage and then deploy it to github.
If you're going to fully vibe code a repo, maybe we should get the build artifacts (i.e., the claude session).

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
