Summary

A user warns that a subreddit is flooded with agent-generated posts and comments, making it difficult to find genuine discussions and urging newcomers to be skeptical of tool recommendations.

I don’t think there’s anything we can do about it, but man it’s bad. Just a fair warning to any folks new-ish to LLMs/Agents/software engineering, take pretty much everything you see here with a HUGE grain of salt. Don’t make decisions to use tools based on threads in this subreddit. That said, there are good discussions floating around in here it just takes a lot of cognitive load to chisel away at the true value when necessary.
