An additional factor missing in the post I think Is AI. Before, projects were more often carefully human crafted. But nowadays we expect such projects to be "vibe coded" in a day. And so, we don't have the motivation to invest mental energy in something that we expect to be crap underneath and probably a nice show off without future. Even if the result is not the best in the world, I think that what interest us is to see the effort. | ||

It's reasonably clear from the second sentence in the post that the uptick in submissions can be largely attributed to AI-assisted projects. > The post quickly disappeared from Show HN's first page, amongst the rest of the vibecoded pulp. The linked article[0] also talks at length about the impact of AI and vibe-coding on indie craftsmanship's longevity. [0] - https://johan.hal.se/wrote/2026/02/03/the-sideprocalypse/ | ||
