I've been overwhelmed with the flood of interesting new things being released. I tried to put a number on it and across the board from Github repos to package registries to Show HN submissions there is just such an immense increase in output, especially since Claude Code and Codex. I think everyone has felt this, but I have not yet found a way to deal with filtering out the genuine quality from the AI slop.
Talked to a guy at a bar yesterday (Well he talked TO me, couldn't really get into a conversation) and he went: "Now I create WordPress plugins in 10 seconds, like for real! I have the most expensive Github Plan, all the agents and I just tell them what I want, I get it and publish it!".
Mind you, my projects are also build with Claude Code / Coding Agents but I spec, I refactor, I research, etc. It was at that point I realised that there could be millions of people like him now. He unironically said: "When people ask me what I do, I tell them I'm a promp engineer".
