I think accessibility is a really admirable thing and helpful to society (like ramps or parking). But stop shoving your wants on others when you can fix it on your own. Just write a chrome plugin using ai that adjusts css to set contrast ratio of your choice. Can even use a local llm to figure out replacement colors. Accessibility that can be had on client side should not be a concern on server side.

right, so in this analogy i should be legally required to have wheelchair accessibility in my house?

That's still less thinking overall that someone who thought about all of that and thought about the scripting would have done.

And even less than someone who wrote an interpreter for the script, less than someone who also chanted times tables while doing it. More thinking isn’t a simple good thing. Given a limit to how much thought I can give any specific task, adding extra work may mean less where it’s most useful.

That's not a good-faith argument; obviously we're talking about relevant thought, rather than distraction (which, in context, would be less thought).

I expect most side-projects are being built with AI-assistance now. Side projects are typically time constrained - if AI saves you time, why wouldn't you use it? They're also the ideal place to try out new AI tools that your professional work might not let you experiment with. (The headline of this piece doesn't really do it justice - it misuses "vibe coded" and fails to communicate that the substance of the post is…

> Slop fonts: Space Grotesk, Instrument Serif, Geist, Syne, Fraunces Nooo please don't ruin great fonts by associating them with low effort vibecoding They may be somewhat overused but they are popular for a reason

yeah lots of these are used by AI because they're good. i use Space Grotesk for headings on my current project, rotheme, with Instrument Sans in the body, and my link shortener project uses Geist.

maybe i'm an LLM too

"legal" is distinct from "moral" which is distinct from "polite".

Given that the ones that surfaced on the frontpage were pretty interesting, vibe coded or not, I’d say the voting mechanism is working as a good filter.

Interesting? I'd say they were interesting if you find looking at vibe-coded stuff interesting. If you're instead into learning from projects based on the author's unique insight, experience and research, they're utterly boring... I find that I just don't learn anything new from Show HN vibe-coded side projects, and I can often replicate them in a couple of hundred of dollars, so why bother looking at them? Also why…

This assumes that pre-LLM projects were based on the author's unique insight, experience and research, and not just boilerplated framework code, copying the design trends of the week.

I'd challenge the lack of personal prowess argument. Piecing together technology in novel ways to solve highly targeted problems is a skill, even if you're not hand-crafting CSS and SQL.

I liken it to those who tune cars, who buy cars made in a factory, install parts made by someone else, using tools that are all standardized. In the middle somewhere is the human making decisions to create a final result, which is where the talent exists.

> Side projects are typically time constrained - if AI saves you time, why wouldn't you use it? It depends what your goals are. All of my side projects were started because I wanted to learn something. Using a "skip to the end" button wouldn't really make sense for me.

The difference between people who want to learn things versus people who just want a finished product is going to be a big dividing line in the post AI world

It's also a nice opportunity to learn while getting something out!
