Nice article... Bloat is not "since generative AI coding" new. We always had it. As the author says: > “It does sound like Facebook’s ‘move fast and break things,’ which didn’t age well either.” Which indeed did not age well, but it did help the company to grow to a certain point at which it is now a staple in our lives (and can do super expensive BS experiments like "Metaverse" and still show profits). This may be what Tan does as well: first profitable, then correct. This is an approach, which may work for some, it may also allow some companies to become irrelevant (like: once the bloat-app is profitable, a clone-app emerges that is bloat-free and overtakes the bloat-app in every dimension, while the bloat-app is figuring out how to scale up with a shitty db schema).
