I realize the GP comment was a provocation, but please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.

I love this response. for what its worth there is some thought here on this app.

Hacker News has become weirdly anti-hacker in the last 5 or so years, so please keep building stuff and keep posting it. This is literally what HN is supposed to be. The "AI slop" tirade is just bottom of the barrel bandwaggoning for upvotes because it's popular to hate AI today

One of the counterintuitive aspects of the LLM boom is that agentic coding allows for more weird/unique projects that spark joy with less risk due to the increased efficiency. Nowadays, anything that's weird is considered AI slop and that's not even limited to software development.

No, "LLMs can only output what's in their training data" hasn't been true for awhile.

Thanks for the support. Honestly, I probably shouldn’t get so defensive either, it’s a bad habit and a pretty poor "evolutionary holdover" in the internet age of anonymity and social media.

I thought one way to help mitigate my emotional responses was to desensitize myself, but who really wants to expose themselves to the requisite sufficient threshold of personal attacks? That’s not exactly a fun callus to develop.

Pay me no heed, I'm sure you'd find many of the things I've made insubstantive.
