- evanjrowley 8mo agoIt's a cycle.
- PKop 8mo ago> have popularized it It's hated by everyone, why would people imitate it? You're inventing a rationale that either doesn't exist or would be stupider than the alternative. The obvious answer here it they just used an LLM. > and clearly it serves some benefit to readers. What?
- evanjrowley 8mo agoThen why does every vibe-coded "Show HN" app have it in README.md? Surely authors would edit it out if it was true that everyone hates it.
- minitech 8mo agoMaybe vibe-coding Show HN apps is correlated with low effort and bad taste.
- FeteCommuniste 8mo ago> It's hated by everyone, why would people imitate it? It could be involuntary. People often adopt the verbal tics of the content they read and the people they talk with.
- make3 8mo agoI think that the style itself is very clear and has its advantages, it's hated only because it's from LLMs, which are not liked when used without judgement (which is often the case). So, someone who falls on the side of not completely hating LLMs for everything (which is most people), could easily copy the style by accident.
