Scoring Show HN submissions for AI design patterns

Re: Scoring Show HN submissions for AI design patterns
#192Heavy slop (5+ patterns) · 105 sites · 21% Mild (2–4) · 230 sites · 46% Clean (0–1) · 165 sites · 33% Can we have a list of the "clean" ones please? Actually, if you give me a list of the IDs for all 3 categories, I'll make URLs for each that people can browse. If the community feels that the division is useful, then we can maybe take you up on your offer to open-source the project, and perhaps find a way to use it o…
Love the idea. Let me get to this over the weekend and open-source it, then ping you via email.

Just chiming in to say I don't care at all about accessibility and I find it bewildering that every thread sharing some project has a comment like this.
People assume that accessibility is all about some small minority of less abled people who can't "read good", but it's a broad category that affects all users. If you build following the guidelines then you end up with a quality product that can be used by people who stumbled upon it while doom-scrolling instead of enjoying their beach vacation. The best analogy I heard was about drop-kerbs/curb-cuts... people wonder…
Yup, accessibility is literally about broadening the population of people who can use your software. It's often associated with affordances for the less-abled, but that's just a subset of accessibility. I don't get the hostility! Just a guess but maybe 1 in 50 or so developers I've worked with in the past didn't just "not care" about accessibility but were outright hostile to it, as in affirmatively "We should not spend time working on this!" Bizarre.

#194Don't people just tell you if something is made by AI? It doesn't seem like something to hide. Look, I made something cool using an AI tool. That's great to hear, the thing I'm interested in is the Something Cool, but I do also want to know how, so I can learn how to build Something Cool myself.

#195Why so many defensive comments? A good visual design has some personality.

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.

as a comparison, i think the wheelchair itself is people making their own accessibility.
the wheelchair is not built into the site, and only requires a few hooks or the odd helping hand to work.
mapping back to software, and especially websites, your user agent is your user agent. it should render websites in the way you want to see them, regardless of what colours the designer chose.
an AI accessibility browser is more like a wheel chair than a ramp

right, so in this analogy i should be legally required to have wheelchair accessibility in my house?
Not unless you invite the public in on a regular basis. Websites are available to the public - especially if you're trying to promote them on HN

Why I like using AI right now is that I get to try out far more of my own ideas quickly (and find issues with them!) Before, it was like: "Oh, X idea is really cool, let me try it!" ... (loses interest before idea validated) Now: "Oh, X idea is really cool, let me try it!" ... with AI, I get to actually validate that it works (ideally), or reformulate the idea if it doesn't.
Even more than validating ideas, I think my personal AI use falls into two categories: - Exploration: I am "vibe coding" to explore a domain, add many features, refactor the app over and over, as a real time exploration of the domain to see what works and what doesn't - Specific Execution: I have a full design, a full idea, I've thought about architecture, we're making a plan and we're executing this extremely cohere…
i particularly like that right now i get to hear about different small practices people do that arent the AI itself, but that i wouldnt have considered otherwise.
git worktrees as an example.

> if AI saves you time, why wouldn't you use it? Because generally speaking, stuff that is AI generated is largely devoid of value. If it’s AI generated anyone can prompt it into existence, so the likely hood that someone will find value in and use what you made is approximately zero. What you made is likely low quality, since you vibe coded it with little effort and that always shows . Lastly you don’t even get to e…
I've found that value is largely derived from polish and vision. It's easy to prompt some stuff into existence over a weekend. It is hard to polish it, fix bugs, have tidy UX, and so on. There's this meme going around (maybe from that Silicon Valley show?) where the grey-beard says he is valued for his taste and his conviction in that taste. This is -- fortunately or not -- reality. Vision and taste won't get you the…
I agree, and for those who would counter “just use AI to polish”, those who use AI to avoid doing the work of building something are likewise going to avoid doing the work to polish it, if they even possess the taste required to do so.

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 m…
I agree that some (many) pre-LLM Show HN projects were worthless as well. But at least they were fewer, which meant that interesting projects were harder to miss.
> Piecing together technology in novel ways to solve highly targeted problems is a skill
The LLM outputs this out of the box? Where's the skill?
I don't believe the comparison to car tuners benefits your thesis here. The spectrum of people I know who tune their cars varies from utter idiots to professional engineers. You cannot state as a fact that anyone who does it has insight or even natural talent. The bar is so low that anyone who has enough money can do it (just like coding with LLMs). In fact one can say that most people are incompetent, and by tuning their cars to varying degrees they endanger themselves and others, enlarge their running/maintenance costs, lower their car's resale value, and harm the environment.
