This is not actually a literature class, and the author, as such, is available. And the purpose of Show HN is to have a conversation with the author.

Yes it is. That's what "vibe coding" is. That's what all AI workflows converge towards. That's how most people use it. And that's what makes discussing AI generated posts so limiting.

You are right though. It is exhausting since some people just can’t get it through their head that you can use AI and still understand the output.
Is code the art? Or is the product of that code, and the way people feel when they use that product the point?
At this point, after enjoying the craft of writing code for decades, I now just want to build things I like. At this point I care zero about the details of the code as long as the product meets my requirements.
Until you try building a complete (if simple) product, you may not realize how many decisions are involved which have nothing to do with code but are critical to the success of the product. That is my focus.
