Codeinabox specifically seeks them out to post them here to push their narrative.

    I’m not gonna assume a motivation, but yes I have noticed that whenever I wonder “Wow, this reads like the author got oneshotted. Who posted this?” it is codeinabox.

    Thank you for not assuming my motivations. Could you please elaborate on what you mean by "oneshotted"? I share a lot of articles, so I'm not surprised you recognise my username.

    Yeah, the unfortunate reality is that nobody ever remembers your name on the good posts.

    “Oneshotted” apparently originated from hallucinogens — the rare but sad occurrence where people try them once and then completely lose their minds.

    But I’ve mostly seen it in the context of LLMs, where it means basically the same thing.

    (Also: why did someone downvote your reply?)

    I don't specifically seek them out. I follow quite a few different programming blogs, and I am just sharing what people are posting about, and it just so happens a lot of people are posting about this topic.
