Garry Tan's point still stands: he never pretended to be building nice software. But his point was that he can now build AT ALL! Shipping a webpage at all is the firs step ; making it load under 7 Mo is just a refinement, an important one of course (who tf wants bloated webpages) but still only a refinement. Tan is right to be amazed and to be shipping.

His point is about the volume, and that to us (software engineers) it sounds like he actively just adding bloat, not putting out useful software.
Has Garry produced any software that is actually useful to anybody? Cause that kinda needs to be be lowest we can set the bar, right?
