I can indeed see some UI patterns that are indicative of vibe coding. So what?

Did something like this exist before, with the same level of interactivity? I certainly had not come across it. Should Show HN be exclusive to hand-crafted code that demonstrate software mastery? Where things are going, that would be a slippery slope.

I think we should be celebrating what is possible using this new generation of tools, and how the reduced barrier to entry will result in more creativity and experimentation. As for those who are asking for AI use disclosure, why stop there? Why not also ask for disclosure of the use of any libraries or templates that made implementing it a bit easier?

I would also like to add a personal perspective. Each academic and teacher has their own take on things, their own narrative which distinguishes them from the rest. And in most cases, this unique perspective has so far been expressed through a combination of spoken words, handouts, and slides.

Yet, when it came to interactive demonstrations and digital tools, we were at the mercy of wildly overpriced SaaS products, or dependent on TAs to implement some version of our vision. The homebrewed teaching aid that conveyed concepts exactly the way we wanted was simply out of reach, unless we were prepared to dedicate months of work, at the expense of other commitments.

This is no longer the case.

You’re kind of talking to a straw man here. I didn’t read anything against the use of AI, just that they’d rather not spend time reviewing AI code. This is reasonable not to want to spend time reviewing something the author hasn’t spent that much time on. Maybe the preference would be to review AI code with AI, but we need to know in order to make that choice.
