Everyone is talking about vibe coding. It seems impossible to pass a day without reading or hearing about it. But why? I mean, everyone knows that it is a shitty VC funded AI buzzword-bingo idea that’s just a rage bait 1 (and I’m falling victim to the rage bait). Nothing more. Nobody will seriously vibe code.

Since it’s shipped with OpenSSH, it should be available on most of…
