    Honestly, the evident plethora of poor programming practices is the least notable thing about all this; using roided autocomplete to cut corners was never going to be a well calculated decision, it’s always the cherry on top of a shit-cake.

      roided autocomplete

      My autocomplete:

      • written in an hour on a whiteboard for a job interview
      • uses only the finest words, hand-selected by unix
      • speed and size efficient

      Roided autocomplete:

      • years of development, billions of dollars of investment
      • hallucinates constantly
      • projected to use all computing capacity at current rates

      the upside: we can now watch “disruptive startups” go through the aquire funding -> slapdash development -> catastrophic failure -> postmortem cycle at breakneck speeds
