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.

Honestly, the evident plethora of poor programming practices is the least notable thing about all this; using roided autocomplete to cut corners was never going to be a well calculated decision, it's always the cherry on top of a shit-cake.

roided autocomplete

My autocomplete:

  • written in an hour on a whiteboard for a job interview
  • uses only the finest words, hand-selected by unix
  • speed and size efficient

Roided autocomplete:

  • years of development, billions of dollars of investment
  • hallucinates constantly
  • projected to use all computing capacity at current rates

the upside: we can now watch "disruptive startups" go through the aquire funding -> slapdash development -> catastrophic failure -> postmortem cycle at breakneck speeds
