The next part is more interesting:

Vibe coding at its best. They’ve prompted a tool into existence using a programming language they don’t even know. Is it optimal or follows best design practices? Probably not, but it solves their problem and didn’t require spending days or weeks trying to learn everything that’s normally required to write software.

This is kind of what Emacs and other user-programmable environments are good at. Malleable software at the cost of increased tech debt, which is kind of irrelevant because you're only writing it for yourself and can rewrite it any time. Maybe LLMs will have a better shot at that than Lisp.

I do something similar, but manually, in Inkscape. It has command-line flags to export a PNG rendered only from the part of a SVG that is within the bounds of a specified object. I often create a hidden layer to hold rectangles marking areas I will want to export frequently and then write a script/Makefile to run the export command for each rectangle.

Very helpful for making videogame assets and exporting them in parts to Godot
