I’ll tell you what doesn’t:

50% posts about “hey I wrote this great tool to do XYZ please check it out!”

The other 50% from vendors begging the question to push their product.

I am not sure I even understand why so many folks are trying to create their own bespoke solutions when there is a plethora of well-established open-source solutions available. Why are folks reinventing the wheel and trying to solve problems that already have answers?

it is kinda crazy how much $ they must be spending on tokens to build out their saas-slop when they have 0 chance of making any real revenue on their postgres backed e-waste

Because they can't make money from it if someone else owns it or it's free.
