I think it’s an unfair takeaway. I have over a decade of experience and still had to stare at the line to find the bug. If that makes them incompetent, I stand with them. It’s a bug I’ve seen people make in other contexts, not just chatbots.
The AI angle is probably why people are piling on. There’s a latent fear that AI will take our jobs, and this is a great way to skewer home that we’re still needed. For now.
The one thing I will say is that it probably wouldn’t take me days to track it down. But that’s only because I have lots of experience dealing with bugs the way that The Wolf deals with backs of cars. When you’re trying to run a startup on top of everything else, it can be easy to miss.
I’m happy they gave us a glimpse of early stage growing pains, and I don’t think this was a PR fumble. It shows that lots of people want what they’re making, which is roughly the only thing that matters.
