Man, after looking at the veritable pile of stinking matter that is claude code, compare it with the NT 4 source leak.

Windows may have suffered its share of bad architectural decisions, but unhinged is a word that I wouldn't apply to their work on Windows.

I think you guys read “unhinged” as way more negative than I meant.

Just because I am saying it’s unhinged doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s cool

I’ve never read any windows source so I can still contribute to wine but I’ve read the NT kernel is really high quality
