Someone in my last thread on the topic quoted an unnamed startup CEO saying something like "it only has to work until we get acquired," and that sums up our so-called industry's approach to code quality perfectly. Claude Code obviously looks like a power multiplier when nobody gives a shit about the long or even medium term.

@bodil this totally explains it, and the kicker is the mindset makes the quality uniformly bad independent of tech stack, so you can't make things better by adopting, say, Haskell or something.
@deech Maybe not, but at least it would be more fun.

@bodil @deech Why does that make me think Scary Devil Monastery?...

(maybe it's because I've seen what kind of twisted shit I can pull when I only have to explain it to similarly twisted people)
