No, they have a lot of software expertise. I mean, Ben Pasero (VSCode) and Eric Traut (MS Fellow, Hyper-V) for example.

These companies are just such insane pressure cookers, there is little time to do any software "right". Why take another day to make Claude Code airtight if it means Codex will release faster than you? Especially if the next generation of model can just clean up your tech debt on its own.

Being reckless just makes business sense for them right now. They are not facing any real consequences.
