So as long as it is meeting the requirements of “it stays up consistently and doesn’t lose my code” you really don’t care how it was coded…

The same as I’ve been arguing about using an agent to do the grunt work of coding.

If GitHub’s login is slow, it isn’t because someone or something didn’t write SOLID code.

I don’t think we’ll come to common ground on this topic due to mismatching definitions of fundamental concepts of software engineering. Maybe let’s meet again in a year or two and reflect upon our disagreement.
