AI cartoon by Zimbo: Six-panel ThePrimeagen strip. 2012: Netflix engineer swamped with tool requests. 2020: builds Harpoon — the vim guy becomes THE vim guy. 2022: quits Netflix, returns with the same box. 2023: Harpoon 2 rebuilt on a livestream. 2024: code as spectator sport. Kicker: feet up while his 99 agent types.
Michael Paulson turned a decade at Netflix, an obsessive terminal, and a Neovim plugin called Harpoon into ThePrimeagen — programming’s loudest voice. Now he’s building an AI coding client, and the machine is doing the typing.Zimbo for AI News Page
