- dumpsterdiver 5y agoIf that were true, then why did this post reach the front page of Hacker News? As Larry Wall stated, the three virtues of a programmer are: Laziness, impatience, and hubris. Tools like this embody all three.
- renewiltord 5y agoThere are a hundred reasons to use this script and your responses merely lack imagination: * Ancient script written by people at the company no longer here that may encode a bunch of assumptions and lots of dead code * Personal script that is not to the level of full production * Run untrusted script in a constrained environment to see at what stage it does something ugly - this will bypass obfuscation based on adding lots of dead code That's like 3 things I already thought of while writing this comment. In like the 90 s it took me to compose this. These ostentatiously dramatic comments of yours aren't that interesting. Hopefully coming generations of engineers will look at your comments and be like "I wish I wasn't like that".
