if someone — whether it’s your CEO, your tech lead, or some Reddit dork — claims they’re now a 10xer because of AI, that’s almost assuredly untrue, demand they show receipts or shut the f— up.

I actually had this thought recently, that the vibecoder is the new 10xer, but in the derogatory sense of your company's cowboy coder whipping up beautiful messes for everyone else to drown in.

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
