alt Hacker NewsOne of the awesome things about LLMs is they make it quick and easy to make PoCs, so yes. Proving that an approach will work before spending a bunch of deep design effort is absolutely valuable. Your exact scenario is something I've literally done: give a half-completed design to a team member and asked them to vibecode a PoC to prove the approach will work and figure out some of the details, explore scaling and failure characteristics, etc. Or I do the PoC vibecoding myself too. LLMs have been a gamechanger here.
It's valuable for you, the person who's going to spend a bunch of deep design effort, to make POCs. Is it valuable for someone else to drive by, dump some POCs on your lap, and then leave you to do the deep design effort while they run away to study AI?
If that person then runs around telling people that they're the real author of your project, because they generated the original POC, would you consider that an accurate assessment?
