I mean, we're supposed to care? We're here on a forum of programmers and technical people ostensibly gathered because we want to satisfy our intellectual and technical curiosity.
Hacker News is already full of people too misanthropic and uncurious to engage with topics beyond the title. Now we don't even care about the art and science of programming. So why bother showing up? This place will be nothing but shitposting bots and self-promotion soon.
The point of Show HN is to show off things you made. I'm not complaining about using this as a library - although the creeping ubiquity of vibe-coded libraries carries its own concerns. I'm complaining about going into an explicitly creative setting - yes, that's what HN is supposed to be - with an attitude that nothing matters but the pure utility of the end product. Just kind of sucks the joy out of all of it, and this place had precious little left to offer.
