This is 100% true. My litmus test:
Red flag when the main flex is:
- how many agents (or teams of agents) they are running
- how they can message their agent from the gym
- how many millions of tokens they burned this week
I see tons of these posts on LinkedIn daily.
Legit when the main flex is:
- they built something that wasn’t possible or economical before (ideally it makes or saves money)
- they shipped more, or faster
- they built custom software instead of using a SaaS provider
IMO, the former is the equivalent of bragging about 80 hour work weeks with nothing to show for it.
