Agentic AI kills clean code: a satirical takedown of vibe-coded slop

In a blistering manifesto titled "Agentic Mfw," an anonymous developer argues that the rise of AI agents has entirely rewritten the rules of web development. The author demonstrates this by having an agent generate a pristine static website in one shot: lightweight, fast, responsive via a single clamp(), identical across browsers, accessible to screen readers with proper lang attributes, served over HTTPS. It hit every commandment of clean code — and the author did it while on the toilet. The point is that such craft is now a museum piece. Nobody cares how it's built anymore; the industry rewards complexity over maintainability, token burn over efficiency. "Fix a bug? Re-prompt the entire repo at 3am and let the swarm guess again," the author writes.

The piece skewers the modern startup playbook: spin up 40 agents into a circular microservice architecture with a vector DB nobody queries, brag about burning $1 million in tokens per hour, and pitch that as "pre-revenue at scale." Accessibility and semantic HTML are irrelevant when content is engineered for nine-second dopamine hits. The author's clean page exists out of spite — a personality setting toggled for nostalgia between "pirate" and "Shakespeare." The real punchline: the same agent that could vomit a 200MB React monolith wrote plain HTML because told to act like 2014. Open source contributions now mean pointing an agent at a test suite and rewriting the whole thing in Rust to a "clean-room" description cloned from stolen code.
