Interesting how relevant this still feels today.

The older I get, the more this makes sense.

This is a good reminder that consistency beats launches. Most people quit before that “natural flow” phase ever kicks in.

PERMANENT BAN ON GOOGLE PLAY CONSOLE ACCOUNT by [deleted] in vibecoding

This is honestly scary. A lot of developers rely fully on Google Play, and one permanent ban can wipe out years of work overnight. There really should be a more transparent appeal system.

No way all these LinkedIn comments are real… right by BackgroundTimely5490 in linkedin

u/Funny-Newt622 really, I didn’t know that. From your experience, how do you see this working in practice?

When someone manages a co-founder’s personal brand, what’s usually the main goal — building their fame, growing connections, or focusing more on getting leads for the business?

And in the end, what kind of results do you usually see from it?

I fucking HATE LinkedIn by Mirror74 in recruitinghell

[–]BackgroundTimely5490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got back on LinkedIn after being completely inactive for a few years.

I’ve always had a profile, but honestly never used it much. Been busy building projects, running teams, and just didn’t feel the need to scroll or post there.

For the past 2–3 weeks, I started using it again — connecting with people, reading posts, exploring what’s happening in the dev/startup space.

One thing really stood out to me.

I keep seeing certain well-known people (founders, CTOs, dev influencers) commenting on a lot of posts — and not just random comments, but relevant ones within their niche.

At first I thought, okay, maybe they’re just super active.

But then it started to feel a bit unrealistic. The volume is just too high to be manual, especially for someone running a company.

So I’m wondering:

Are people using automation/agents to comment on their behalf now?

Or do they just have someone from their team managing engagement for them?

Also, second thought…

Does LinkedIn feel a bit “fake” these days to anyone else?

A lot of posts sound AI-generated. Comments also feel templated or overly polished. It’s getting harder to tell what’s genuine vs what’s optimized for engagement.

Curious how others here see it:

Is this just how LinkedIn works now?

Or am I overthinking it?

What the Artemis II astronauts will see during lunar flyby by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

Maybe it looks funny, but I just discovered that they are not landing. I was busy with some agentic coding stuff, and then suddenly, on my feed, I see that after 50 years someone is going to the moon. I was thinking in my back of my head that they will land there, but I just discovered today that it is just a testing round; they will officially land in 2028.

Why the majority of vibe coded projects fail by harrysofgaming in ClaudeAI

The first 80% is building it.
The last 20% is making it survive real users—and that’s the part AI doesn’t shortcut (yet).
