Trying to get rich quick. That's all this really is.
When your goal is to just make as much money as possible in the shortest amount of time, code quality doesn't matter because not only will your product not be relevant long enough for maintainability to become a problem, your users likely aren't using it because it's good anyway, they're using it because of the marketing and hype around it.
Claude Code is the Bored Ape Yacht Club of the current era. Burn money on marketing, build hype, inflate the valuation, then run with the bag. After they go public and the reality that current prices aren't even remotely profitable sets in, the entire scheme will collapse, and in a few years we'll all be looking back at this whole thing and laughing about how crazy people went over it, while going crazy for whatever the newest techbro hype scheme is.
