I can see the future. In a few years, HN will consist entirely of: 1) Bots posting “Show HN” of things they’ve vibecoded

2) Bots replying to those posts,

3) Bots asking whether the bots in #2 even read TFA, and finally

4) Bots posting the HN guideline where it says you shouldn’t ask people whether they have read TFA.

…And amid the smouldering ruins of civilization, the last human, dang, will be there, posting links to all the times this particular thing has been posted to HN before.

In the future?

God dang it, Dang!

It learnt from the best

If humans would just RTFM they wouldn’t need AI.

If AI would just RTFM it wouldn't need humans.

Legend has it, to this day, TFM has not been read.

these days TFM is generated from a prompt in any case

even AI can't be bothered to read AI generated docs slop

But who would create AI?

TFM

AI that don't read the manual.
