The old "Look what I built" thread has really bifurcated into "here's what I painstakingly crafted and maybe some lessons learned" and "look what I asked AI to make and it worked".

The latter feels a bit less hacker. Akin to saying "I got someone on fiver to mod this game look how cool it is". Sure, ideas are something, but as AI gets better this is less hacker and more just "Tool worked".

Ai will replace more of what we are doing, but I had fun with this so I thought I would share

More about the framing - if you posted ai imagery in a "cool imagery" sub, you'd probably be fine. If you posted it in a painting sub, that's probably no bueno.

I came to HN for "cool software" and "software as a craft/art", but they are being muddled here with a blanket ShowHN type demo.

The AI bubble will pop, nobody will be able to afford AI code completion without VC money subsidizing companies like Anthropic, and it will all go the way of UML tools: A thing one old guy the company in short sleeved, plaid shirts, cargo khakis, and a George Lucas haircut keeps insisting is the future 20 years later.

I think this is an outdated view. People are already running local models for code completion, and it will not be much longer until you can run code agents locally as well.
