Naw. I got him to reveal himself, which was the whole point.

It's amazing what you can get people to do.

Reveal myself as ... a contractor agreeing to your bid?

There's a ton of money now floating around in pursuit of "proving" how cost-efficient LLM coding is.

I'm sure they can spare you the $40k to put into escrow?

After all, if I don't deliver, then the AI booster community gets a huge win - highly respected ex-FAANG staff engineer with 30 years of verified dev experience could not match the cost efficiency of Claude Code.

I am taking you up on your original offer: $40k for a C compiler that does exactly what the CCC program in the video does.
