Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

That’s how you get a codebase that kinda sorta works in a way but is more evolved than designed, full of security holes, slow as heck, and disorganized to the point where it’s impossible to fix bugs, adds features, or understand what’s going on.

Well, one of the ways *glancing at the code I'm responsible for, sweating profusely*

Yeah, idk what parent poster is talking about. I totally didn't spend the bulk of yesterday afternoon redoing a small project from scratch because I couldn't decipher what I did two months ago. Nope. That would be ridiculous! So glad my human-written code is so much better than AI code.
