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.

oh my god the maitai guy’s actually getting torn apart in the comments
after it’s pointed out 2000 near-misses before a complete failure is ridiculously awful for anything internet-facing:
so uh, what exactly is your product for, then? admit it, this shit just regexed for the secret string on output, that’s why the pirate poem thing worked
e: dear god
"It doesn't matter that our product doesn't work because you shouldn't be relying on it anyway"
it’s always fun when techbros speedrun the narcissist’s prayer like this
So I'm guessing we'll find a headline about exfiltrated data tomorrow morning, right?
"Our product doesn't work for any reasonable standard, but we're using it in production!"
Some people never heard of the guy who trusted his own anti identity theft company so much that he put his own data out there, only for his identity to be stolen in moments. Like waving a flag in front of a bunch of rabid bulls.
