This hit surprisingly hard.
I didn't think the English language needed the expression "competency porn" but here we are.

@halfbyte It's not a new term. It’s been around for a while. It’s like a whole genre on YouTube: people are doing all sorts of things, be it craft, hobbies, or art. It's been around in movies, too. Like, it's kind of the whole premise of John Week. And it's not the first instance of a hypercompetent protagonist doing their thing for the whole movie. @bsletten
