A vibe programmer that built a palm-sized fusion reactor in a cave over the course of 3 months with a single companion

With a box o scraps!

He leaves out that the "box of scraps" was essentially a complete selection of all the parts used by his company to make their weapons. He was basically given a couple each of every Lego set ever (already assembled !) and then tore them apart to make one big thing. It's impressive, but it's not like he reinvented modern technology from scratch. I'd call that "vibe engineering" at worst.
