The real genius in this piece was not the vibe coding, it was this: "I began having friends over for a ritual I called Admin Night. The idea is to power through your personal sludge in communion with others." www.wired.com/story/normie...

Bless this Wired lede so hard. "Wednesday’s episode of the Musk v. Altman trial kicked off on Wednesday with a unique proposition: OpenAI wanted to bring its ass into the courtroom, and lay it bare before the jury. It’s a good thing lady justice wears that blindfold." www.wired.com/story/musk-a...
