That or we're completely ignoring principles like DRY and producing a head spinning amount of tech debt.

I can't really imagine producing that much code in that short amount of time and holding any amount of it in my head. I'd bet money there's code in there that does the same thing but different, leading to all kinds of little inconsistencies that make this code worthless in any serious context.

I’m an old school coder. I haven’t vibed. I’m guessing the “who is going to maintain this” could only be another tool similar to what built it. I can’t imagine trying to get my head around that much code in a timeframe acceptable to someone demanding product. So are we headed to a place where everything is written and maintained this way or a lucrative future of having to get these things to work properly.

  • Given amount of duplication and variation there is no way to guarantee any level of security in such codebase. The bright future ahead!
