by that logic, every fart, burp and sneeze should make the HN front page, and be shared with the entire world. And I'm not exaggerating much because clearly large portions of 2026 socmedia are approaching that if not already there. Many Reddit forums are going to hell from a lack of standards for minimum quality, novelty or signal value. "Look at this stick figure I banged out in a few seconds just now, guys!" posted into the input feeds of millions/billions around the world, worsening the world that much more.
If a fart, burp, sneeze, or sequence of curmudgeonly outbursts could ever be intellectually interesting, they would be on topic. The odds of that are obviously low.
But there's no reason why a new project and/or an AI-generated project could never be interesting. It's true that many aren't; but many X are uninteresting for any X.
Since those are the reasons you gave for objecting to the post, it's your dimissal, not justinwarner's response, that went against the logic of the site. In addition, you broke a number of the HN guidelines—for example: "Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."
