The overuse of “gate” in this post title makes me think the entire thing was vibe coded even the marketing.

  Personally I’m ok with vibe coded projects - certainly feels like the future of things, and I think the line between vibe coded and “professionally” coded is increasingly blurring - but I completely agree on the marketing/communications piece. Ideally your communication about a project conveys real expertise and ownership, signaling that you really understand the problem you’re trying to solve and the tradeoffs you made in your approach to do so. I am very hesitant to use a project where it feels like the eng couldn’t pass a pop quiz about how it works + why.

    Seems like the posts on this site are largely LLM-generated though? Correct me if I’m wrong.

    "That is a lot to ask of one number. Here is how it fits into one. Built one decision at a time." it sure sounds like Claude.
