A lot of fun new technology gets shouted down by reactionaries who think everything's a scam.

Here on "hacker news" we get articles like this, meanwhile my brother is having a blast vibe-coding all sorts of stuff. He's building stuff faster than I ever dreamed of when I was a professional developer, and he barely knows Python.

In 2017 I was having great fun building smart contracts, constantly amazed that I was deploying working code to a peer-to-peer network, and I got nothing but vitriol here if I mentioned it.

I expect this to keep happening with any new tech that has the misfortune to get significant hype.
