Why Bad Code Gets Rewarded
TL;DR: He has a great point for standard teams, but it doesn't apply as a solopreneur with a codebase like STACC. There is nearly 0 tech debt.
NASA writes mission-critical flight software in C. And the rules are absolutely INSANE.
TL;DR: NASA/JPL mission-critical code follows strict safety rules: no recursion, bounded loops, no post-init dynamic memory, small functions with assertions, all returns checked, zero warnings, daily static analysis, and tightly controlled pointer use.
The Agentic Code Problem
TL;DR: Our tools were designed for a single-project mental model. Once you’re juggling multiple projects in parallel, everything fragments across tabs, windows, ports, and apps. The author doesn’t have a solution — just a strong belief that we need new workflows.
Everyone Can Code Now. That's the Problem.
TL;DR: AI makes it easier than ever to ship apps, so we’re seeing a flood of low-quality, copycat products. Building real, scalable, secure software still requires architecture, judgment, and experience — things English prompts don’t replace.
