Ask HN: Has Show HN become LLM-prompt-centric?

9•piratesAndSons•1w ago
It seems to me that Show HN is filled with low-effort see-what-I-prompted-Claude posts—no innovation, no real creation, just yet another copy of a copy. If you’re going to prompt an LLM, at least come up with something original, not the millionth text editor.

Define "low-effort". I recently posted two Show HNs that were mostly written with Claude Code, but overall each took more man hours than my typical (less-ambitious) projects. Reception to both was positive.

I definitely liked physics simulator you created, and I don't understand why people think working with Claude is mostly prompting and it's definitely not it does require effect and now we just write the code as its out sourced to the Claude but you are definitely planning and thinking about the problem you are trying to solve

But seems, as others have also noted, although the mean quality decreases, the quality of those reaching front page increases.

That said port/clones have always been trendy. What has joined their ranks is the significant amount of what are essentially minimal prompt wrappers.
