Also, promotions can be a different job. I've seen a few senior developers who weren't great programmers, but could communicate effectively, manage up and down, etc. So long as they were willing to defer to others on harder techni

IMO it's because they don't get burnt out by a lack of results. After 5-6 consecutive approaches fail, I need a reason to think the next one might work out to stay motivated. Claude will keep burning credits trying new approaches

Equating someone not wanting you on their website with tyranny sure is a take. You’re welcome to host it at your own venue. Or , I guess, to keep whining that you’re not being given free services by someone who dislikes your work.
