I too have often compared AI usage to vim in the past months: AI enthusiasts seem to spend most of their time tweaking their setup; creating custom agents, skills, mcp servers, writing custom tools for their agent to use, customizing their harnesses, loops and whatnot. Similar to how us vim users keep updating/rewriting our config. It makes you feel productive while you really aren't and while in the end it might help you better stay within the flow the author talks about it the article the gains are typically very minimal if one is honest with oneself.

You mean, except for the spurious :w here and there...

Reads like a human, and then the more you read, the AI-fluff appears. Not X, Y blah blah blah.

You could have human written it with your words in half the words. Been more authentic.
