""I rewrote Kafka in COBOL" Great, enter it at your next science fair. Meanwhile stop begging for stars on your brand new GitHub repo that no-one's touching with a bargepole. "I wrote a blog post about Kafka" Did you though? We can tell that Claude wrote it, and it's a piece of garbage. "I made this video about Kafka" Cool story bro. Except AI made it, and it's only of interest as a curiosity, not a useful learning artefact. "I'm self-publishing an ebook that I wrote about Kafka" What you mean is, you got Claude to scrape the internet and crap out a "book" that you should be ashamed to give away for free."
""The pattern I see over and over seems to be: Step 1: Discover agentic coding. Mind blown. Step 2: Chuck a project up onto GitHub ( if it's actually up </snark>). Step 3: Have AI write a breathless blog post about your vibe-coded project. Share blog post and repo to any subreddit and Slack group that you can find. Not sure which is suitable? Post to all of them-people will love to see it! /s""
""Let me tell you now: pause after step 2. Take a really long breath. Think really hard about what you've created, and why you want to share it. If it's "because it's cool" then I've got news for you: agentic coding is no longer a novelty. It's just how shit gets done now.""
""If you can think of the prompt, AI can write it. Big deal. That's so early-2026. Move on. Still want to share it far and wide? Is it act""
Agentic coding has become common, and many projects are shared with hype rather than usefulness. Dismissive reactions target content that appears AI-generated, such as rewritten classics, blog posts, videos, and self-published ebooks that rely on scraping and produce low-quality material. A recurring sharing pattern is described: discover agentic coding, publish a project to GitHub, then promote it widely with breathless AI-written posts across communities. The guidance is to pause after publishing, reflect on what was created and why it should be shared, and move beyond novelty. Sharing should be justified by real value, not “because it’s cool.”
