People want recognition when doing something hard that took time, effort and dedication.

Training a year, and running a marathon feels more worthy of recognition than driving 42km in a car from the start to the finish.

While I don't empathize with the defeatist tone of the post. I do empathize with this part.

So because some people use Tinder, does this mean that nobody puts any effort into actually finding the right partner?

Said another way: is it impossible to use something which everybody has access to to make something artful?

Or I will try it a third way. Does the fact that people take bad pictures on their iPhones prevent other people from shooting whole professional movies on iPhones?

		your message was "Good thing that programming with LLMs takes time, effort an dedication then!" In answer to that message: taking bad pictures on an iphone is not something celebrate or recognize no.

There's a great post I read on twitter on how marathons and Iron Man have come to be the new status signal. The argument was that people who grew up with privileges find it hard to show something they've personally worked for. Every other "achievement" could be attributed to something other than their hard work.

ex: getting a big seed round from a VC for your start up still may show that your parents had connections.

but marathons have this grindability and somewhat stable feedback loop.
