There's also a very simple reality of AI vibecoded projects:
If you were able to get an LLM to vibecode a project for you, so could any of us, so why even share the project as if you are showing off? It takes very little effort for anyone else to prompt an agent and get a similar result.
That means the only thing left in a shared vibecoded project is the original idea, and well, ideas are a dime a dozen and everyone has them and idea spread has never really been a limiting factor.
So what are you really sharing at that point?
Noise.
"Look at this code I got an LLM to generate" is inherently uninteresting.
>silent majority that works tirelessly to keep this site relatively free of ads disguised as articles and political news.
And just like the other "Silent majority", this is utter tripe.
Every other submission is an ad FFS. Nobody is doing anything to remove ads. HN Itself is an ad.
It's not "Silent", as these people love nothing more than reminding you that topics they don't like are objectively "politics" and "Don't belong on HN" even though HN tried that once and it was terrible
And they aren't "Majority", because the flagging mechanism requires shockingly few flags before a post is knocked off the front page, and if anyone tries to plead any case in the comments, that also knocks it off the page, as a "flamewar", because apparently on a place that insists it is curating thoughtful discussion, high velocity discussion is impossible?
It's a great indicator of how much of the American public's sentiment on everything is driven by marketing.
Just say "Fiscal responsibility" enough times and it's magically true, and nobody will listen to the educated people pointing at literal receipts because they are "the elites", which is a group that somehow doesn't include the people who's wealth has grown 10x based on explicitly pro-rich person fiscal policy for decades.
It's why they blame democrats for "globalism" as well, despite the fact that the entire country loudly voted for Reagan because of his "lets reduce taxes and magically get rich" narrative.
Or how it's constantly said that "Democrats turned their back on blue collar workers". Said by people voting for the "Unions are inherently bad" party.
Everything about American behavior makes sense when you understand them as especially prone to swallowing marketing and ideology as truth.
>Some of these installs are only slightly better than paving the whole area.
Utter horseshit.
Putting up what amounts to a bunch of shade on steel pillars just doesn't harm the environment. There are more than a few contexts where it improves the environment.
There's no identified or predicted harm from large scale photovoltaic installations.
