Because as far as you know, the "rough implementation" only works in the happy path and there are really bad edge cases that you won't catch until they bite you, and then you won't even know where to look.
An open source project wouldn't have those issues (someone at least understands all the code, and most edge cases have likely been ironed out) plus then you get maintenance updates for free.
ive got ten years at faang in distributed systems, I know a good solution when i see one. and o3 is bang on
If you thought about it for two weeks beforehand and came up with nothing, I have trouble lending much credence to that.
the commenter never said they came up with nothing, they said o3 came up with something better.
So 10 years at a FANG company, then it’s 15 years in backend at FANG, then 10 years in distributed systems, and then running interviews at some company for 5 years and rising capital as founder in NYC. Cool. Can you share that chat from o3?
How are those mutually exclusive statements? You can't imagine someone working on backend (focused on distributed systems) for 10-15 years at a FANG company. And also being in a position to interview new candidates?
