I ignore them. If a technique is useful enough, it will become mainstream and won't need to be advertised by a small community of apostles on X or Mastodon.

I work as a junior programmer/sysadmin. Most of the work I do has centered around being aware of the abstract logical nature of the problems I solve. Thus, I have had little issues solving a routing policy in IOS, JunOS, OpenBSD or plain old Linux, for example. Or writing some WSGI application to interface with an old water meter. Or fixing a broken Ubuntu 12 webserver that no-one has accessed in years.

Considering the comments on another topic on HN today, It still looks like GPTs have great issues with abstraction, which I personally experienced when I asked it to fix some issue I've been having regarding data structures I've been using in a project. So I don't think I'll be running out of things to do so soon.
