Why would you assume an entire application can be existed in a prompt? Even when I vibe code, I spend significant effort on iteratively adding features, refining design decisions, modifying components, .... Some of this happens by giving the LLM more text prompts, but some of it is providing annotated images, giving references, changing copy, manual editing, reverting to earlier starts when something doesn't work. It's a whole process. Couple that with the non deterministic nature of llms (even if you somehow manage to use the exact same settings) makes sharing a "prompt" meaningless.

Feel free to point your LLM at a repo and ask it to replicate that. But I'd much rather see someone's finished project rather than an idea for a project

Take a screenshot from the demo and ask an agent to build the same thing from scratch. Sharing prompts is meaningless due to non-deterministic inference

Yes, the terrible urge people have to publish the results of their vibecoding is the problem - it’s why itch.io and steam and GitHub are overflowing with slop projects.

I love seeing that someone built a thing like this! It’s a fun idea, and it is inspiring to see what kind of thing it’s possible to code up with AI assistance!

But be honest, it’s not ship-ready. You aren’t going to handle bug reports and maintenance long term - it’s a toy you built that you’ll bore of and cast aside in a few weeks. You don’t want other people installing it and using it and bugging you to modify it.

Share that you did it. Share what it looks like. Share some of the story of how you prompted it into existence. But don’t publish it as if the result is some sort of product.

So we all duplicate work and give more money to model providers? Both the code and the prompts should be shared.
