       | But seriously: as an attorney, I find that this writing perfectly
       | reflects what I imagine it must be like to live inside the head
       | of someone who agentic-vibe-codes for a living. It's all over the
       | map; pulled (and pulling the reader) in a dozen different
       | directions; non-standard; mixing metaphors and idioms; likely 20x
       | longer than it ought to be; and almost able to figure out its own
       | point in the pastiche as it flails around.

       | I imagine that the coding results of the process described would
       | be similar. Would that be an accurate prediction?

         | subject matter.
