> Tan/AI built the website so that when a user visits, their browser makes 169 server requests for various assets totaling 6.42 megabytes in size. For comparison, the minimalist Hacker News homepage (also run by Y Combinator) makes seven requests for data totaling just 12 kilobytes.

Lisp failed in the previous AI winter because it was so damn efficient, when the C-suite just likes big stupid numbers. Tell Garry Tan you have a tool that generates 2 million lines of code per day and he'll probably give you a billion dollars on the spot.
