I see it 3-4 times already in this comment section, so must conclude that modern programmer culture = parroting YouTube/X devfluencer catchphrases

Thank you for bringing a term to a thing that has been bugging me: people who purport to be devs but spend most of their time on podcasts and blogs talking and writing about being devs, rather than just being devs.
