With vibe coding, html is a visualiation tool. not sure if i get your problem with that?
replyThis is pretty obviously an advertisement but it's a pretty good advertisement imo, it pairs a meaningful contribution to the OSS ecosystem (discovering and patching a real bug) with selling your cybersecurity tool at the same time.
replyThe incentive previously was having more secure software making a name for yourself. The incentive now is finding the most noisy vulnerability so you can push FUD to sell your AI software.
replyThese guys don't need to advertise, they are already 100% busy with work. But who wastes their time manually creating web pages? Especially kernel devs.
replySide comment: I have recently used Claude Code to make a few sites for testing purposes. In the prompt I added "don't make it look vibe coded," and it worked pretty well: No purple gradients, bento box layouts, etc. Nothing spectacularly original, either, but probably enough to avoid accusations of vibe coding.
replyit's advertising their AI, not the talents of their humans :D
replyPeople are confusing the presentation layer with the content, just a surface layer analysis. Basically people are feeling so burnt by reading AI fluff that they make a rushed judgement.
replyWriting something by hand requires effort and signals seriousness. It's not unreasonable to take things less seriously when they come wrapped in low-effort packaging.
replySometimes that effort is better spent on other things.
