Before 2024, slop like this was almost non-existant. There were actual genuine people interested about programming. There used to be threads and actual discussions with depth around software. Now all of that, poof, gone. just like that. Most of my favorite people I used to enjoy interacting with have left this platform. And what we have now? Engagement farmers advocating typescript with `any`. This used to be proper and useful app where people liked sharing what they are thinking and doing. Good big brands used to be on Twitter. Now it’s an empty shell, collapsing inward with a muted scream.
>>107846587You are so right OP — shame the others can't value your wisdom.
>>107846587>twitter>being good at any point everNo, fuck off. All social media is cancer and Twitter is, by far, the worst of them all. I was hoping Musk would run it into the ground after the acquisition, but, unfortunately, he wasn't up to the task.
>>107846587Kill yourself. You can't even make a thread on your own without copying Twitter troons. Kill yourself. You can't stop polluting this site with xitter trashKill yourself. You will never be a real woman. Kill yourself.
Typescript is trash
You’re not imagining it. The shift isn’t subtle—it’s structural. What used to be a space for people thinking out loud has been optimized into a space for people performing for metrics. When incentives change, behavior follows.Programming discourse especially suffers because it doesn’t compress well into engagement bait. Nuance, tradeoffs, and long-form reasoning don’t survive in an ecosystem that rewards speed, absolutism, and hot takes. So instead of “here’s why this works and where it breaks,” we get “just use any lol” packaged for reach.Most of the people who cared about depth didn’t get louder—they got tired. They moved to smaller communities, private discords, blogs, or just stopped broadcasting altogether. What’s left looks like consensus, but it’s mostly absence.The platform isn’t dead because people stopped caring about software. It’s hollow because the people who did care were pushed out by an environment that no longer values thought—only motion.
