You’re only scratching the surface here as a web developer Every word in any sales pitch is sculpted to trap and attract Everyone needs to hear…

Latest tech (from a decade ago)
Best in its class (coincidentally everyone is the best)
Clinically proven (yeah right)
Limited-time offer (are those fake prices even limited?)
Free trial (but please share your credit card!)
AI powered (except not really, just looks AI-ish)
Innovative (why does your site look like it’s from the 90s?)
Future-proof (until tomorrow?)

I want to roll my eyes out of my head Once you start noticing the lies in everyday advertising you can’t stop spotting them You can hardly trust anything you see or hear anymore.

@Asher
Best in its class Wow I forgot about that one. The truth is, I find and am drawn to products that clearly describe what they do without any exaggeration. When you say something is the best or fastest or powered by cutting-edge technology like BlazingFast doesn’t just manage your state in a single variable. Instead, we went with multiple variable mutation, allowing several variables to be used, speeding up processing times by a hundredfold It doesn’t make me want it.

Yes! Just look at the awful react app I now have to work on to see that not everything needs to be blazing fast.

Might be a joke at this point Everyone in the machine learning community is dealing with hundreds of papers called ______ is all you need because it’s a running gag in AI research If I ever create a framework or plugin, I’m slapping that ‘blazingly fast’ label on the product page just for fun.
