Vibe Coded
Code created with AI (LLM) assistance.
The fundamentals may already be known, but the code is created by "Conversation". This can be partially written or entirely written from scratch.
Example with ChatGPT:
Write a batch script that emulates the startup of a retro PC. Include a CD ROM check, memory check and some dummy dates
Chat GPT 4o Response:
Hereโs a fun little retro-style batch script that emulates the startup of a 90s/early 2000s PC. It mimics:
- A BIOS-like memory test
- A CD-ROM check
- A system date/time display
- A POST-style boot message
You can save this as retro_boot.bat
and run it in a Windows Command Prompt for the nostalgic vibes.

Sounds like a vibe to me, while we're vibing, see what else you can do with LLMs in the ๐ HomeLab
