I do appreciate the technical simplicity argument and I'm always advocating for it. And the few neat tricks i.e. Copilot.

That being said, I'd much rather read a few ideas for good recurring passive income. Instead, the author kind of flexes on that, then says "I get refused VC money because they don't see how their money would be useful for me" -- which is one more flex -- and moves on to the technical bits.

It's coming across as bragging to me.
