First you pointed out your extensive experience as a basis for your argument and now when you realize you're completely out of your depths, you call us "locked in their ways" and call yourself "I am a hack programmer at best and I can admit that".

Fun fact: I'm actually not really seeing this "locked in your ways" as people get older, I see people asking about the cost-benefit of using a technology before using it a lot more. Just because I got curious, I took another look at the repo, there was a few libraries that I've never seen, but generally I'm up to date with what is going on (might have not used anything in production, but at least out of curiosity - I'm familiar). As I pointed out elsewhere, there are just literally 16 different languages used in this project and over 270k LoC.

I'm way past the stage of my life in which I feel a need to have a dick measurement contest online with random people about my experience, where I work and how many devices do we sell per year.

I think you might need emotional support in your life, take care.

So now you can take the time to read? And engage? because you said you don't do that.

I pointed it out as a basis for how transparent the behavior is, not as my capability as a programmer. Because I'm not the one who claimed I can glance at a repo for 2 minutes and judge it to be bullsh*t. Nor see 270k lines of code and not see the extensive documentation, translations, etc

And yet, here you still are. Measuring away.
