Honest question, why bother publishing the code at all? Wouldn't it make more sense to publish the prompt?

- redfloatplane 1y agoYes, exactly. Unless you have a deep intention to maintain this library or somehow elevate it beyond the version anyone would get given a couple of minutes and Claude, what's even the point in publishing the code or submitting to HN? And what is the benefit for anyone to use _this_ library instead of getting Claude to build their own with whatever constraints and requirements they have? Again I don't want to come across as criticising the OP, I am just struggling with this myself. I've vibe-coded a few great things for myself but the value is so personal (and the lack of intention to maintain is so strong) that I would rather others build their own version than use mine!
- brettermeier 1y agoNo, energy got used for LLM to produce this, why do it twice?
- MangoToupe 1y agoThat's a fair point.
- redfloatplane 1y agoVery good point. I only thought about it in terms of the individual effort rather than the actual physical energy being used.
