That’s true - the assumed time is different now. We have to judge it on the content/findings of the experiment, rather than the fact that someone experimented with it. I share your frustration with random GitHub repos though. Used to, if someone could create a new GitHub repository with a few commits, there was likely to be some intelligence or quality behind it, but I commonly stumble across vibe coded slop with AI-slop READMEs. So maybe you are describing a similar reaction here in HN posts.
