Should we do something about flashy forum topic titles?

Pulling in a quote from another thread, as this thread seems a better place to respond to it:

@linuxuser1 I am glad for your current and continued participation in the forum, and thankful for your many contributions!

I haven’t read all of the guides in depth. For many of them, the content is outside my experience / above my head. Though surely I would like to possess the system mastery to properly evaluate them and judge them good work (and I’m always working toward broadening my knowledge, for this and other reasons). Because I can’t judge them well myself I defer to you, the writer, and other contributors who post in the guide threads.

I get a sense, given you’ve shared many guides in a short period, and given some sort-of indefinable quality within the content of the guides themselves, and their code, that they are to a degree vibe coded / LLM generated. If so, that isn’t inherently bad or wrong! But it is this sense, combined with my own inexperience around the subject matter of the guides, that has held me back from sanguine :heart:-ing and commenting. I can’t judge the work well myself, and if they’re partly vibe coded, I can’t be breezily confident the writer can judge them well either. That makes sense, right?

I suspect other forum participants are responding in this same sometimes lukewarm way because they too pick up this same “is this vibe coded?” sense as me-- though that may be projection on my part. And maybe it isn’t fair of me to be lukewarm, even if the guides are partly vibe coded. It wouldn’t mean you are not competent within the subject matter and cannot judge the work. But it does mean it’s harder for me to trust that they are good, comprehensive work, because in code generated by LLM the proof is no longer in the pudding.

Anyway, hope this post doesn’t land wrong, and please keep contributing. :+1:
