That's cool, I thought it was meant for one of those people, who shoot a bow with their feet while doing a handstand.

It is sadistic, kids are sadistic.
I believe this Vsauce video explains the phenomenon I mean (I have not watched the video and can't right now).

I'm not so much worried about the functionality of the code, but rather the maintainability. A lot of code was written, by a person long ago, copied together from forums online refactored by people, who didn't understand it, but at least at some point someone understood it good enough to create it.
I find the idea worrisome, that we will deal with code no one ever understood, it's just kind of there and seems to do what we want, and now you have to change it.

What are stashes of lead? Have read that here before.

That could work, but why would anyone do that?

For me the other scary thing is the loss of control. We are already drowning in code everyone needs and noone understands and now we build systems, who can produce mountains of that.

But then again you could use it to explain code. We will so quickly become dependent on it.

I too believe, you can "hide" inside a big companies structures.

I'm sure it's a difficult balance as a developer.
It's easy for someone who has played many games to underestimate how much is new to someone who has not played as many games.
