Just never hear of an obfuscated code contest?

Seriously, most coders can't even figure out what shit they wrote does after not touching it for 6 months. Now I'm supposed to learn a new language and fully understand someone else who may have been trying to mislead me in that language I just learned.

This advice is so BS and I'm sick of seeing it. It is not a valid defense of an open source app or a rebuttal to anything I said.

So you're just too lazy to read the code and rather shit purely based on vibes? Ok retard. Bitchat is not obfuscated code, it's completely readable swift/kotlin so not understanding it is purely a product of your own incompetence.

Don't worry, you aren't the first person with infinite time and every skill but still doesn't know what obfuscated code is to post here. Use some of your infinite time and every possible skill to learn about the world view of non developers who have time obligations.

Every single update by every Dev for all eternity is a risk vector in every app. I'm sure you read and fully comprehend every line of code you run including every diff for every update plus rereading old code that may have surprising interactions only when paired with this new commit.

Or you could just say this app is a huge risk with minimal benefit and move on.

Reminds me of some quote that I'll put in quotes though I'm going off memory, "if you want to bake an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe"
