Ask HN: Is "Not vibe-coded here" the new "Not invented here"?

vilda — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 21:33:49 +0000

Lately, something has been bugging me. Whenever I share my software business ideas with friends, I often get the same response: "That’ll die soon. Customers will make it themselves." or, if I rephrase it, "Why would I buy it? I just vibe-code it."

It made me realize that I’ve heard something similar before. The infamous "Not Invented Here" syndrome. Are we entering a new era of dismissing products simply because people think they are too easy to build in-house with AI? Is the perceived ease of AI-generation making us blind to the value of a verified, functional product?

Is "Not vibe-coded here" the new "Not invented here"?

New comment by vilda in "The Twitter Advertiser Exodus"

I remember advertiser exodus from YouTube and advertiser exodus from Facebook, twice. They returned, eventually.

The bigger problem is current recession. Budgets for ads are cut first.

As the plane is headed down, it increases its speed. At a certain point, due to aerodynamic forces, pilots cannot stabilize the plane with the stabilizer trim wheel in the cockpit. The situation is unrecoverable.

Another example is the First Step Act that has been signed Dec 21 last year. It is being considered especially important for poor and black people.

To add, there's not much inclusivity in a company of single female-only product, in a market of overwhelmingly female-oriented products. Doesn't that fit into "majority" category?

Has there been any inovation for men toys?

Some good points. The proper scientific answer is a peer-review, not a suspension.

When science and politics collide, politics always win. Science needs an environment free of politics.

Sony offers to block stolen PlayStations. It's a similar case - you may buy a used item that may suddenly stop working. Moreover, Sony does cooperate with authorities re locating those devices. You may have a surprising visit.

New comment by vilda in "Utility poles"

vilda — Thu, 15 Feb 2018 11:51:47 +0000

Transformer oil is there primary for cooling and secondary for corrosion resistance. When you see transformer burning, it's the oil inside. Larger transformers cycle oil through pipes visible outside.

In the Czech Republic (or at least in some parts) pole numbers and their positions are shared with emergency services. If you are disoriented, reading the number identifies your exact position. Works for railway crossings as well.

New comment by vilda in "Geothermal Energy Production Heats Up"

vilda — Tue, 06 Feb 2018 11:43:37 +0000

While cleaner, technically geothermal energy is not renewable. After couple of years the area is cooled down and efficiency drops. For example, one project planned in central Europe is expected to last only 15 years. Then re-drilling is necessary or leaving the drill to re-charge. Among other risks, contamination of underground water and earthquakes are commonly mentioned.

New comment by vilda in "Are Jump Tables Always Fastest?"

vilda — Wed, 04 Oct 2017 10:50:51 +0000

This myth is even in Python source code[1]

  However, since the indirect jump instruction is shared
  by all opcodes, the CPU will have a hard time making
  the right prediction for where to jump next (actually,
  it will be always wrong except in the uncommon case of
  a sequence of several identical opcodes).

New comment by vilda in "In Defense of Amy Wax’s Defense of Bourgeois Values"

The response makes the situation even more absurd. Suddenly it is OK to denounce a professor because he/she is not correct from someones point of view? Isn't a debate about what is real and what is not the base for any science?

I would understand, but not be happy for, that professors are called for not being politically correct. I can't understand denouncing for not being correct by someone's argumentation.

I believe more and more that social justice and seeking for truth are not compatible.

Universities must choose between TRUTH or Social Justice, not both: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaQ-ZF9S3uk
