Kill all CEOs

Both Ai and Child labour problem solved!

Can you imagine the absolute nightmare that the digital world will become once major infrastructure and every other app is poisoned by AI codebases filled with vulnerabilities and nightmare convoluted setups to do basic things?

Have you even seen what Claude does, randomly, if you tell it a simple bug fix you requested didn't work? I've seen it simply say "Oh, sorry, let's try something else" and start rewriting everything - from top to bottom - trying to fit previous code in it's limited context window so it ends up generating this abhorrent mix of code segments that do nothing but look important, fragments of the original code base, and a lot of new code that doesn't even fix the issue in the first place.

I remember being obsessed with code and finishing a bootcamp and feeling unstoppable... but I never got the job. I can still refresh my skills whenever I want, but shit like this makes me wonder why I am always late to the party...

wait, I finally get it. 10x developers write 10x lines of code. They're just verbose AF, so that many more lines of liability. That's it. Yeah, I'm not 10x.

I'm not saying, reduce lines of code in favor of readability, but that's a different argument. I've heard it said that no abstraction is better than the wrong abstraction, but are 10xers opting for no abstraction all the time?
