Why it worked

The post taps into a common sentiment of burnout and disillusionment within the tech industry, particularly among developers, by contrasting the perceived purity of past coding practices with the current competitive landscape.

Summary

The post contrasts the past perception of coding as an art form with the current focus on who can "run" better AI models and orchestrate agents. It expresses fatigue with the competitive and performative aspects of the industry, highlighting a desire for simpler, genuine programming without leaderboards or "fake benchmarks."

Original caption

then it became about who runs the better model, who games which benchmark, who looks the most productive orchestrating six agents at once ich liebe diese branche und bin sie gerade leid, gleichzeitig 🫥 mir fehlt der teil wo man einfach... gut programmieren wollte. ohne leaderboard, ohne theater i am tired btw #SoftwareEntwickler #Programmieren #KünstlicheIntelligenz #TechBurnout #FrauenInTech
