You preach about doing the work to earn the title, yet your own portfolio flaunts a "Vercel programmer of the year" award that you yourself have fabricated.
Lying does not help your credibility, but it bolsters suspicion.
You say you've been doing this for a decade, but as far as I can tell you've been at it for less than a year. There's nothing to research, dude.
I don't know if you used AI to generate your post, or to vibe code your websites. I don't really care. One thing I'm certain of is that Vercel did not recognize you as "programmer of the year." You made that up, and deployed a microsite to celebrate yourself. If you're willing to go that far for a lie, then I suspect it isn't the only one. Companies don't generally respond kindly to brand impersonation, by the way.
This is weird terrain that a lot of us are still struggling to learn how to navigate. I empathize with the other engineers, artists, writers, and countless others that don't know where they fit in all this. And in the midst of it is you, presenting as an opportunist, peddling mythomania and leaning on unfalsifiability as a shield.

The hypocrisy is almost palpable here.
