The author defends mediocore code, yet wrote this piece:

https://fly.io/blog/vscode-ssh-wtf/

Where he dunks on how SSH access works in VSCode. I don't know. The code and architecture behind this feature may well be bananas, but gets the work done. Sounds like a clear case of mediocority. I wonder how does he reconcile those two articles together.

For me this is more of a clickbait. Both of the articles. With that in mind, if I am nuts for being sceptical of LLMs, I think it is fair to call the author a clickbaiter.

How a feature works, and how a feature is coded (how "nice" & canonical the code is) are two very different things.

He's dunking on the design of it.

Hmm. The author is a cryptography expert. So, honest question: Would he trust crypto code written by an AI?

(I suspect I know the answer, but I am not certain of it.)
