We should be more ambitious with the software we build

Not sure what is the best place to bring it up, but I'm a bit confused about the moderation policy here.

This post is currently +11 and on the front page and seems to be talking in generalities about accelerating software development using LLMs.

But one of my previous posts about accelerating understanding of system dynamics using LLM-generated visualizations was removed by moderation. https://lobste.rs/s/awlefz/animations_for_system_builders

The stated reason for removal was "Article is about using LLMs".

If articles about using LLMs are off-topic, then isn't this post is off-topic too?

(I'm fine either way, I can stop submitting posts related to LLM usage, but it's confusing to see posts extolling the benefits of LLM usage on the front page at the same time.)

I'm not quite sure what's meant with "more ambitious" if it's prompted by a "rewrite Postgres in Rust" project, and to be honest, it's hard to eke out what's meant given the rather unstructured nature of the post. Maybe I'm supposed to feed it to an LLM?

In order to get more posts out, I'm trying to crank posts out in half an hour and not review them much.

Ah, ok.

I find it kinda hard to take seriously the advice to be "more ambitious" when the author’s own ambition ends at "set up the bare minimum CSS to make a blog readable" ;)

(I know reader mode exists, but Dan’s site is the only one where I need to reach for reader mode.)

I prefer to build things. I enjoy taking a step back from the code and seeing how the system flows together, and then zooming in on the code to understand what is happening at a micro-level (like which For loop is faster)
