These vibe code explainers look nice on the surface but actually make things even more confusing. There's an element of curating which information to present and when that doesn't come across here.

Agree. These LLM-generated explainers tend to be useful only to the person who prompted for that explainer. That person knows what's unclear to them, they have their internal mind model that is known only to them and they can refine the explainer to their liking and keep prompting until it looks the way they want it to look and explains concepts how they want them explained. I use these all the time but see no reason for sharing something that is a couple prompts away for anyone else.
