"It is an arrow, so we spent an unreasonable amount of time on how it looks."

Brilliant. This is exactly the kind of content I seek when I visit Hacker News.

Truly art.

Have you actually looked at this? In the first screenshot, three of the five arrows are obviously and badly misaligned, have incorrect labels, and it's just a big tangled mess (edit: the author stealth-replaced the screenshot, but the original is here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/franzenzenhofer/big-arrow-...). The LLM-generated text may be saying one thing, but there's clearly zero effort spent on... anything. There's no punchline, there's no aesthetic angle, there's no conceivable purpose.

It's just the epitome of living in an era where code is so cheap to generate that we don't invest any effort into even fully fleshing out the idea. It's just "Claude, make me a program that draws arrows on screen". And HN, I guess, is dominated by two groups: one still stuck in the mentality of "code = effort" and trying to recognize that; and another stuck in the mentality of "AI = cool".

It’s inevitable. The future is “prompt = effort”

Those who code will be left behind. I code. I don’t like it. But I have to face reality.
