Best comment ever, I've also noticed this over the last few years, even on dev.to! People go crazy over other people's opinions about them ... time to say "no" to that.

Extremely harmful, why do you think mental issues are on the rise to such a huge extent, especially among younger people? We just drive each other crazy - non-devs with "glamorous" insta profiles or with producing the most popular TikTok clips, devs with 3K plus github star projects or with nonsense like "as a developer you SHOULD ... (fill in anything that apparently we SHOULD do nowadays)".

Time to focus again on our love for the profession and the projects, and less on the stars and the likes and all of the ego inflation.
