    Reddit was Steve and Alex who merged with infogami. By your argument SPACs are completely new companies and pull founders from both. Reddit was originally written in LISP and rewritten with Aaron. The code was still shit (and still is shit).

    Why say something that is wrong that can easily be checked?

      “Early the next year, he published a blog post that some took to be a suicide note, which scared his cofounders enough that Alexis called the police”

      Maybe try reading your source before citing it?

      Any code from that era of the internet could most likely be called shit… Shit code has levels. Steve and Alex struggled to have even functional code… Aaron’s code wasn’t the Mona Lisa, he hardly considered himself a programmer, but it was functional.
