    Ironically, your portfolio website gave me some 'slop vibes'. Not saying in any way that it was made with AI, maybe seeing monospace fonts where none are necessary triggers me now.

      Monospace fonts are dead to me. If this trend continues, there&#x27;s a 50&#x2F;50 chance I&#x27;ll be coding in Times New Roman this time next year.

        I&#x27;ve known people advocating for proportional fonts for source code for a long time (many of them also in the literate programming camp). It would be funny if LLM slop was the final aesthetic push over the last few hurdles there to making it more common.
