Does build in public really work?

Every day, I notice fewer people sharing their projects here.

A couple of months ago, build in public felt unstoppable: everyone was posting updates, numbers, roadmaps. Now? The hype seems to be fading… or maybe makers are just shipping quietly.

And here’s another angle: sharing MRR.

Some people love it. They say it inspires, creates transparency, and helps others learn. But to me, most of the time it feels like pure flexing. It rarely provides real value unless it’s paired with context (what worked, what didn’t, lessons learned).

So I’m curious:

👉 Do you think build in public is still worth it?

👉 And do you find value in seeing MRR numbers or is it just vanity?

Would love to hear your thoughts 👇
