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.

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

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
