FOMO epidemic in its purest form

Just a couple days ago, pretty much every developer or anyone even remotely in the IT world noticed a new tool popping up everywhere. I think it broke all the records in terms of virality. Clawdbot (or moltbot now, whatever it's called after the Anthropic trademark drama, doesn't really matter).

The main thing I wanted to address is this: a lot of people are already monetizing the traffic. Tutorials, paid courses, "guidance directories," you name it. And look, that's totally fine. It's the obvious move when something is blowing up this hard. Easy attention, easy clicks.

But when I first saw this tool, my reaction was basically... okay, could I actually use this for something helpful? Can I automate something, make my life easier somehow?

And the answer was no.

I'm just a regular dude, not a Jim Carrey. For me, using this would be like spinning up Kubernetes for a personal blog. Complete overkill. A solution looking for a problem.

The idea I want to share here is simple: before you jump on the next viral thing, just ask yourself if this would actually help you solve a real problem right now.

If the answer is no, don't buy courses out of fear of missing out. It's fine. You're not missing out on anything.
