alt Hacker NewsI'm sorry but "extensive documentation, scalable, high test coverage, perfect code style" seems to me to be the opposite of throwaway.
It sounds like the kind of thing people will think surely must be very important and in use, because why go through all those hoops instead of doing a quick hack?
But I guess we can just throw AI at the maintenance burden anyways..
I agree, so you should ask yourself "why would the expert do this?"
I decided to go for the charitable interpretation of "the alternatives are close enough in functionality that writing by hand is not worth it", instead of the uncharitable interpretation of "these examples are completely made up".
