I know the feeling but only people in our community care about how the software sausage is made. The customer only cares about results and it's great that AI can deliver results quickly. What I'm still waiting to see is evidence of reliability, performance and UX cohesion in these vibe coded applications.

Did you look at the starling code?
Except for gamers, they are even more virulently anti-AI than this community is.
This community is very pro-AI. Just look at the top news, sometimes it's 3/4 AI topics. AI topics get hundreds of likes, AI critical news or stuff that hints at problems and undesirable consequences of the AI boom only get a fraction of it. HN readers just do not care. The majority here is hyped about AI. HN changed a lot since the LLM boom, not to the better, it got really boring in fact.
And from others we keep hearing that HN is too anti-AI. Of course neither is completely true. HN is a big community representing a spectrum of views. Few people are zealots in either direction. Most have moderate views that recognize the pros and cons, to varying degrees. No community as large as HN is ever unanimously pro or anti anything.
That is true but in the comments there are always negative sentiments, sometimes overwhelmingly so.
