    TLDR

    One user emphasizes what code compiles to. Another replies that unreadable code isn't valuable in the real economy at current and near-future capability levels. That user allows an exception for startups but describes them as a tiny fraction of use cases.

    @herbiebradley@xeophon @tenobrus that's why I said valuable :) at the current and near future level of capabilities, code which is unreadable is not valuable in the real economy. it is if you're a startup, but that's a tiny fraction of use cases
