    The original discussion about the project (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49746163">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49746163) is very weird. Lots of call-outs about how the author is some sort of celebrity and random accounts vouching for him, with little discussion on the substance.

    Not even the demo on that release works well.

      HN keeps being gamed to keep vibe coded slop on the front page and give it credibility. There was another language project a few weeks ago called ‘Wyzer’ that was just completely generated and largely nonsensical (didn’t do the lofty things the documentation claimed it did) and all the comments were glowing and harshly dismissive of any critique, it was bizarre

        The number of times I&#x27;ve looked into something that was highly upvoted and purported to solve a problem only for it to be unreadable crap that barely functions has definitely skyrocketed over the past few years. In a way it&#x27;s similar to how 80% of people only read the headline, except it&#x27;s psychosis around the equivalent of a dressed up pile of trash.
