   You can spot vibecoded websites by how they include the prompt or commit-style comments into the literal interface, instead of communicating it via visual context (or simply excluding it)

   > Sort by any column; values the run could not produce always sort last. Hover a cost for how it was priced, a latency for the endpoint. Names link to each project.

   A designer would never write this, but an LLM just inserts it by making it small grey text next to the interface, just like it does with inane code comments.

      And why is a designer needed for every website in the world?

         They're not needed. And there are bad designers everywhere.

         And I know HN people think marketing is a bad word.

         But marketeers know that design is part of the messaging. And nowadays, having clear AI tells in your design shouts "I made this in an afternoon, so don't take this seriously"

         First impressions are everything in a world where attention spans are shortened every year.

         Act accordingly.
