Same could be said about AI mongers.
I’ve noticed that many recent apes submitted to projects I follow are from people who couldn’t write a “hello world” a month ago. Now, they are burning tokens on a few agents that scan public repos for reported bugs and submit patches. Of course, they don’t know what the code does. They are farming something, maybe reputation, maybe something else, but in no way are they coders.
Yeah, AI maximalists and degenerate vibe-coders are no smarter. It's really two sides of the same manichean coin. It's such a distinctly american way of seeing things and i can't relate to any of it.
