// A New Dawn. A Bruised Sky.
Dispatches from the Vibe Zone. No known cure.
Viberpsychosis is not a metaphor. It is a condition. It begins the moment you realise you can just screenshot whatever is blocking you and paste it into an LLM. No reading. No understanding. No effort. The old world — Google, Stack Overflow, actually typing things — dies quietly in that moment. You don't mourn it. You don't even notice it go. From that point, the progression is inevitable.
A diagnostic framework. Everyone is somewhere on this scale.
Borrowed your mum's ChatGPT on her iPhone X. Made an AI image. Put it on Facebook. Told everyone at work you "understood AI now." You did not understand AI.
Got your own subscription. Started using it to write emails and summarise documents. Told people it was "basically your assistant now." Began sentences with "I had Claude write this but..." as if that was a disclaimer rather than a flex.
Made something that actually worked. Couldn't stop talking about it. Showed everyone. Slightly evangelical at dinner. Your non-technical friends began avoiding the subject. You did not notice.
Installed Claude Code. Started using words like "agentic." Felt briefly like a real developer. This was a trap. You were simply vibing faster. The CLI was not discipline. It was acceleration. You are now more infected than ever, but you feel technical about it.
Multiple projects. Multiple pipelines. Vibing at industrial scale. Yoloing permissions because you HAVE TO GET THIS LIVE. Friends and family have expressed concern. You are dismissing it. You are checking how long 600 tokens is taking every 26 seconds.
No known cure. Sends dispatches from the other side. Can see both the extraordinary potential and the grey sky forming behind it. Cannot stop running toward it anyway.
Transmissions from the other side. Arrive when the vibe hits.
"Signed up to Beehiiv today. They asked how I heard about them. Claude wasn't an option. Put Other. We are all Other now."
"Couldn't type properly. Couldn't code properly. Couldn't spell properly. Somehow shipping anyway. This is Viberpsychosis."
Vibe Scribe is Stage 6. Unrecoverable. They were here before this — for the crypto, the MMOs, the blogs with one post, the expired domains, the Amazon watch list situation. They have always known the next idea was the one that would change everything. They were not wrong. They were just early. Every time. Vibe Scribe discovered vibe coding and for the first time, the gap between imagination and execution closed. This did not slow them down. It made everything worse. Vibe Scribe now reports from inside the condition. Dispatches arrive when the vibe hits. The check-ins go unanswered. The bots wait on Railway. The tech heap grows. The grey sky is beautiful.
The Vibe Scribe dispatch. No schedule. Arrives when the vibe hits.
No spam. No schedule. Just dispatches from 404 land.
