You think they let inexperienced developers touch the YT code base without proper code review? Even if that were the case, which is an extremely charitable assumption, that itself would be malice in my opinion.

Uh, yes? We were all inexperienced at some point. Just the linked file is like 300k lines of unminified code, I doubt it's all written by PHDs with 20 years of experience
Some would argue that owning a PhD degree does not necessarily guarantee half decent engineering skills.
It's the "without proper code review" part that I consider malice, not being inexperienced.

Yes
YouTube is way too stable for that to be the case.

This reply is for everyone who has ever worked on the codebase...
