A 12-year-old Reddit joke — 'Machine, pls make website' — is now reality
letandrewcook · x · 2026-11-02
A resurfaced r/ProgrammerHumor post from 12 years ago shows a user writing pseudo-code English: "Machine, pls make website, all responsive like, use my fav fonts, load fast pls, PS no bugs :)". Commenters joked back "Human, please stop talking to machine" and quipped about waiting for "executable English". The point of the repost: what was pure comedy then is exactly how vibe coding works today.
