    Give it time. Right now they don’t want the balance sheet to show how expensive this experiment was, but cheap devs will only get them so far. Eventually they’ll need to pay someone properly to fix what the AI and the monkeys broke.

      Yeah, I was pretty shocked that they were hiring devs to fix shit so soon, but I’m betting they’re using outsourced devs for it, which like you said usually requires real devs to fix.

      That’s a very fair point. I would counter-argue that given the direction that software (and design, and writing…) has taken, even before the machine generated slop, it is unclear to me whether or not there is/will be a real incentive to properly fix things. But I know I am naturally quite pessimistic, so I hope you are right.
