Author here. I put the lines of code into the title to communicate to the reader that they can get a good understanding just by reading this article.

Basically, what I wanted to say was: "Here is an article on building a prototype coding agent in Ruby that explains how it works and the code is just 94 lines so you'll really be able to get a good understanding just by reading this article."

But that's a bit too long for a title. :)

Also, a big benefit of Ruby is how concise it is. Yes, there's a library under neath my code but that library is, like Ruby, also very concise. That's kind of the point.

I can see how you might have read the title as hype-ish, but that was not my intention.
