I’m not saying the answer will always be “no,” but people are wildly, wildly overselling the number of situations in which the answer will be “yes.”
Sometimes the answer is “no” because incorrectness is a deal-breaker — and that scenario’s been getting a lot of attention (fake legal briefs, vibe-coding faceplants, etc).

"Technical communities provide software businesses with an audience, a test bed, and eventually, a customer pool for their products and services, but this only works if the products are good enough to begin with. This insight was clearly defined by Guy Kawasaki, arguably the person who invented the field of Developer Relations, during his tenure as Chief Evangelist at Apple from 1983 to 1987."

Why are other journalists in the room not reacting immediately to T's attacks on their colleagues?
