It’s more a criticism of breaking certain things, which is inevitable when your try to refactor something. The matter is in the end if the behavior remain the same when you finish.

But it’s just a supposition at this stage, let’s see on the next’s month if it a complete mess or if it’s the XFree86 to Xorg transition

founders beliefs are garbage

Well it's the code that matters. Not what their beliefs are.

code is also garbage

Well it's the thought that's important.

And then I recall that experiment in which an LLM trained to spew out garbage insecure code started to behave like a garbage insecure edgelord personality too.

Guess "you can't have one without the other".
