Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I generally try to avoid it, as a lot can be learned from trying to fix weird bugs, but I did recently have a 500 line soup code vue component, and I used chatgpt to try to fix it. It didn't fix the issue, and it made up 2 other issues.
I eventually found the wrongly-inverted angle bracket.

My point is, its useful if you try to learn from it, though its a shit teacher.
