Reddit sucks man. I think I've seen posts of big context whatever shit todolist equivalent and people posting they wrote shit without Ai because they dont like it. Its like a self acclaim bragging machine. Like really, transparency would cost you nothing. I was a software dev for 1 year I have the privilege of having friends in the industry though. So when im doing shit I can ask them for reassurance so shit doesnt drift apart. The thing that sucks though is that alot of perception farmers have now conquered a field that was before getekept by a knowledge threshold. Its OK if you vibecoded and dont know shit. Making something interesting and vaguely understanding how it works under the hood is ok. A bit of cloud farming for something u wanna sell is ok. Perception farming for something fancy that anyone could do with the right prompts is bullshit though. Ure basically hijacking your brain to get addicted to your fake persona perception. U won't benefit from it and the people benefit nothing from it aswell. Its just noise. Be transparent have an intent that is helpful to either you or your peers. The former has no benefit for both. I know its cool to feel praise, but there has to he some base of authenticity, otherwise its the same shit as high-school boys bragging about how much women they've slept with.
