One post argues that knowing your whole codebase means it isn't important
A supporting quote-post reads the claim as a push to build more, not an excuse to know nothing about your codebase.
TLDR
One post argues, “If you understand your whole codebase, the codebase isn't that important,” adding that “real software” is larger than one brain can comprehend. A supporting quote-post interprets that as an argument that knowing every part intimately means you're not building enough—not that you should have no idea what the codebase looks like. Another quote-post jokes about a developer demanding total understanding while using “8,320 external dependencies.”
