I read your comment and just see the typical web developer.
I can’t count how many times developers have tried to school me with their expert wisdom. It’s typically garbage, complete Dunning-Kruger. The causes are two-fold.
On one hand most of these people’s capabilities are an inch wide. Maybe they are really good about JSX, but you take that away and wisdom becomes empty hostility. I don’t want anything to do with JSX or React, so it that’s all you got you are probably just blowing smoke.
The other cause is no experience at all. For example somebody might think they are super knowledgeable on WebSockets because they used a package off NPM. They have no idea how it really works, can’t understand RFC6455 even with Cliff Notes, and can’t write original code.
If you want to be an expert at least start with your own implementation of the thing you want to be an expert about, but most of the people doing that work can’t program.
I can’t help but wonder if the DK coming out of LLMs is really any worse.
