For anyone reading through the article or watching the YouTube video: The reddit post quoted towards the end is actually a cloaked advertisement for "coderabbit".

I didn't notice until someone in the reddit comments pointed it out, when it became obvious.

Not that it changes anything about what the article conveys, but just as a note to give context to that reddit post and what the motiviation behind writing it was.

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.
