Ferd on Mythryl: “you can't really compare this to what a senior engineer would build…”

you can't really compare this to what a senior engineer would build. How do you know this is the best solution. Do you know whether a real engineer would need 100k LoC to remake this? Stop larping as a software engineer, then telling me my job is at threat.

My app has 111,000 lines of code across 455 files. I wrote a total of zero lines. Has taken minimal effort over two months (perhaps 2-3 hours per week in the evenings, chipping away). Total cost ~$200 and $5/mo to run. Compare w/ 5 years ago (years + $500K to $1M+). Crazy times ahead.
