I had fun playing around in Claude getting it to write 6502 assembler for the BBC Micro. It is fun to imagine what we could have built on those old machines with these new coding agents! But it is kind of hollow isn't it.
I think it's an issue for hobby projects. The other day I had a neat idea, looked into it and realized I would not have time to do it but still wanted to use it so I vibe coded it over an evening and there it was. But the code is not mine, I feel bad about it, it's completely hollow, I wish I had the time to do it properly. I'm glad I'm still hand coding my main hobby projects to avoid that.
