I've always been skeptical of the celebrity engineering managers/software entrepreneurs like Graham, DHH, Atwood, Spolsky [1], etc. Just because you made and marketed one or even two successful products doesn't mean you have any useful generalizable advice.

Today people who made something with AI think they have something profound to say about their experience but they don't.

All the projects I do now have a significant amount of input from AI assistants but I am going to post "Show HN: my heart rate variability biofeedback webapp" and not add "... that i vibe coded" because the latter one codes me as yet another NPC.

(e.g. if I am more successful as AI-assisted developer than some people it is not because I know anything about AI-assisted development which is interesting or generalizable, but it is because of the toolbox I've been using in a lifetime of software development!)
