Sounds like you're the perfect candidate to do nothing about it and let the existing platform be enshitifed with providing nothing in return. Good luck with your defeatism.

    Yeah, because I do software for a living, participate in open source projects in the domains I know WTF I'm doing and good at.

    I am that perfect candidate for doing nothing in this particular situation because I'm not a person who's going to downplay how hard it is to develop software unlike you who has no clue apparently what it takes to develop anything and then goes on to say how it's "nothing special", I know how hard it is to develop software and how hard even developing a simple front end GUI can be when that's not your area of expertise much less something that is big as this.

    But you feel free to go right ahead and be that middle manager that has no clue about what it takes to develop that "nothing special" while not picking up and write that full stack. Go ahead, I bow down to your middle manager expertise as you develop that "nothing special".

    Defeatism...rich when you're not the doing the software and leading the charge there bud.

    Well I also do software engineering for a living, except I don't just spam out a bunch of bullshit that has nothing to do with the project we're talking about. "create the algorithms to parse and massage the raw data" my fucking sides... "front end GUI" as opposed to... backend TUI? If you knew anything about your job you'd see that most of the inner workings of the site is very well documented with multiple libraries ready to go for like 90% of the functionality. Just because you chicken out of anything that your precious LLM would deem too hard doesn't mean everyone is else is a bad coder. Nothing would ever get made if people were like you.

    Just FYI, I literally never said there's nothing special about the site, that's your halucination. I ASKED if there was anything special that would prevent recreating the functionality, but I know how hard it is for you to read. I wonder how you cope with a Jira ticket that's longer than two sentences...

    I thought fucking karmawhores with their dumbass opinions would stay on reddit...

    Oh my god you sanctimonious redditor. If you think that 90 percent of the functionality documented and there's nothing special about the site then fucking do it yourself oh God King of Neckbeards. Fucking get to it then and stop bitching that others aren't doing it.

    And yeah, I handle my two sentence ADS tickets just fine at my software engineering job, get paid nicely for it and may I never have to work with your insufferable sounding ass that doesn't seem to understand that just because you've coded one thing that it means you have the expertise to code all the things. It's almost like software development covers more than just writing a website using square space.

    And yeah, I've come to appreciate those who can make a GUI that not just functional but also looks good and flows properly, something that I know I'm not exactly great at since that's not my software specialty.
