a cute way of passing time while vibe coding
Published: Dec 22, 2025
While the model is chugging along, a pleasant and somewhat brain-dead way of passing the time is asking the model for a recreation in code of some work of art or biological phenomena.
It is low stakes, helps me refine my understanding of what models can and cannot do, and the output usually sparks joy --independent of whether or not the model did the task successfully!
I've started compiling the successful outputs of these efforts in the later parts of my art (👨🎨) page. See if you recognise them all!
An added benefit of this pastime is it allows me to start re-populating the art page, which I've ignored for too long!
