Theo video detected = opinion rejected
Also I generally dislike thinking models for coding and prefer faster models, so if you have something easy gemini 2.0 is good
Absolute golden age YouTube brain rot. I had to disable the youtube sidebar with a custom style because just seeing these thumbnails and knowing some stupid schmuck is clicking on them like an ape when they do touchscreen experiments really lowers my mood.
If you find youtubers talking about it, they all fully agree that making these thumbnails is soul draining and they are totally aware how stupid they are. But they are also aware that click-through rates fall off a cliff when you don't use them. Humans are mostly dumb, it's up to you if you want to use it to your advantage or to your detriment.

Is that true? I like to think it’s mostly kids. Honestly the world is a dark place if it’s adults doing the clicking.
What's wrong with Theo?
Not only actively promotes React which is forgivable, but also every framework or unnecessary piece of npm software that pays him enough.
His videos also have 0 substance and now are mostly article reading, which is also forgivable if you add valuable input but that’s never the case with him.
Theo has some strange takes for my liking but to flat out reject the opinion isn't the way to go. Thinking models are okay for larger codebases though where some more context is important, this ensures the results are a bit more relevant than say for example Copilot which seems to be really quick at generating some well known algorythms etc.
They're just different tools for different jobs really.
rejecting an opinion doesn't mean you have to hold the opposite stance, just that their opinion should hold 0 weight.
