Hacker News

A developer reflects on AI fatigue — the sense that online tech spaces like Hacker News have become saturated with near-identical posts about AI workflows and tooling, crowding out discussion of actual products and problems being solved. The author argues that management's obsession with AI metrics (like tokens per developer) mirrors the old 'lines of code' fallacy, and calls for a return to focusing on the value being created rather than the tools used to create it.

I was tired of seeing ‘AI this and that’ way before now on everything. It’s just like when CSS was first invented, everyone went nuts, then it became normal, and the World went nuts about the next thing. It’s the nature of tooling cycles. Gotta get those clicks

As you were asking about cool projects we are building: I built <a href="http://ChewingThe.App" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">ChewingThe.App</a>, its an app built using pure astro, no frontend framework and i generated 27000 questions using n8n and then i filtered them using numerous methods. (text embeddings for removing duplicates, ai filters for keeping only questions that are fun and then in the end hand filtering them)
This was a lot of fun, this app is for when you get to know somebody and you ran out of questions or also for group settings.
What fun projects have you built?

Yes, it’s even worse than the “new JS framework fatigue” used to be

Just use AI to filter them out. And write a blog post about it (well, AI will write it for you)
