I agree, to the point where I think this site should outright ban pro AI posts that don't show the code.

That would END all this spam because they NEVER show the code, and we all know why.

As the article points out, there is a huge market for selling these tools. And this is a forum of many developers.

When there is no actual code or full explanation of how the vibe coding process works, it seems like a straight up ad with no useful info.

That is my feeling at least. And I'm even open to these tools - my current assumption is that I am just bad at them. I'd like to see more examples of how to deliver on all these promises.

It might be shilling, but it might also be someone just putting out low effort content to get traffic

I was actually referring more to what could be wrong with the code that they would want to hide?

Because the claims are either a lie or the code is atrocious. Showing the commit logs and a video would make it a lot harder to hide those facts.
