Ask HN: Why is the HN crowd so anti-AI?
Genuine question.

Over the past six months, there hasn’t been a single day where I’ve checked the HN Best RSS feed without seeing a post about how AI “writes bad code,” “introduces bugs,” “creates technical debt,” or something along those lines.

I’ll probably make a lot of enemies by saying this, but do people realize that code is just a means to an end?

Users don’t care whether the code was written by AI or by hand, or which framework you used. They care that the product works.

Show HN: ABC Classic 100 Rankings visualised
This weekend is the ABC Classic FM countdown, which prompted me to dust off an old un-published data visualisation of rankings from previous years.

I’ve considered adding a search function, but I also kind of like that it requires a bit of exploration in the current form.

Some of the code is a bit clunky and I wouldn’t mind refactoring it. I’m also not sure about browser compatibility - I’ve only got access to a couple of devices to test it on.

Ask HN: Is the web for machines (/llm.txt) the one we wished we had as humans?
I got really tired, as a human, of parsing the standard marketing heavy web we have today.
I’ve always loved the simplicity of gopher and gemini web.

Recently I found myself manually adding `/llm.txt` to most websites I visit because I find the content for LLMs strait to the point and clear.
The only annoyance is web browsers like chrome do not render the markdown.

So could the AI revolution actually fix the web for humans as a side effect? … ⌘ Read more
