Good post @ingosteinke, and yes, the state reflects more like the ecosystem of tech YouTube as well. There are:
But your post is good, and I'd appreciate it and the freshness it brings. It's like the fresh lime after eating a lot of cake.
I clicked this bait, with a heavy sigh, because I'm just starting the first coffee of the morning and wanted to feel grumpy at someone.
Well played, good job, etc.
Thanks for reading!
I updated my post to clarify what was meant as a parody and what wasn't, and that I respect people sharing value in the posts, even if I'd prefer a more informative and less blatant narrative style. So I added more specific details about the aspects that I don't find helpful. I also added Eric Allam's post which inspired me to release mine ahead of its schedule.
Amen to that. We produce a lot of useless content and spend a lot of storage for that. Can we do something more valuable as a community?
I have actively avoided these types of articles from medium and dev.to for the past year or so. I have even started to subscribe to some blogs of developers that I know are good (like nexxel, for example) since quality content seems to be lost in both of these sites and is just full of content meant to market a product or project.
I do still find joy when a good article pops up in my feed every now and then.
Also, thank you for this post :)
Definitely hate the #3.
Weeks ago, LinkedIn invited me to contribute to some articles, where experts can share their experiences.
Took a look, and most answers from "experts" were generated from GPT, Claude, you name it.
It doesn't bring any useful knowledge, information is varied,... The article itself was generated using AI, we don't need to see more generated AI stuff lol.
Overusing or even Abusing AI is just really bad.
At least bullshit posts or using AI to help only adds noise and low quality. What I really fear is trolls using AI to amplify their "alternative facts" narratives and naive people believing their disinformation.
