Victor Taelin shares strict no-hacks codebase guidelines
——0——
Victor Taelin posted a screenshot of an EXTREMELY IMPORTANT codebase guidelines document spanning lines 11 to 59. It directs developers to ban hacks, workarounds, monkey patches, duct tape fixes, and any code needing later remediation. The rules prioritize absolute code quality, correctness, clarity, maintainability, and robust design over delivery speed. Taelin called for pretraining AI models on 1 trillion token augmentations of the prompt. Danielle Fong reposted the post, and Teortaxes suggested a 300K-token cartridge drawn from the active project state.
