Yeah, that makes sense. \>>>no secret how embarrassingly bad their infrastructure was AND how unaware their team was in even understanding it and what was going on. Wait so no one was like let's do a large scale refactor, we have several glaring issues we need to take care of?

Nope, I've been telling them about problems publicly and privately for years. They have problems with their platform, whenever it comes back, that a credible org would never allow to be live and they shouldn't turn it back on even if they get their domain back.
I can't speak to what happens inside Codesmith, but people who have worked there have told me they have complained about it. They had a code freeze for a year or something because they had no competent engineering leader so none of the "engineers" that worked at Codesmith during that time actually did anything.
Some of the issues I pointed out it took them several attempts to fix after repeatedly telling me they were fixed each time.
I know my tone is extremely offensive to them so I see why they act defensively instead of open minded to it, but seriously, I got this way because the sheer incompetence breeding incompetence breeding incompetence is crazy.
I truly thought their new CEO would change things but she hasn't apologized either.
People in the community think this is AWS's fault instead of their own fault.
Instead of apologizing, their founder been posting all over LinkedIn, passive aggressively tagging investors, encouraging people to go after me by liking their provably false comments and tagging more Codesmith loyalists on the comments. Supporting people mocking my appearance.
He has no idea that I get most of my information from things he's shared himself and the guy needs to exit tech and move into something else he's good at - like teaching. He's great at teaching and lecturing. He should do that and stop pretending to be a tech leader.
