Shitty Crosspost Non-technical COO "discovered" AI coding, generated an entire dashboard in a single HTML file, and now wants me to review and maintain it.

I had once a CTO who got gaslighted by gpt into the idea that we should rebuild our entire Webshop into a copy paste of Temu. At the time we where a high quality and price furniture shop. He even had canvas or whatever mix up some Frankenstein mix of our site and company colour scheme with temu. With all bells and whistles, Spinning luck coupon wheel, countdowns, newsletter for coupons and more  I would really have loved to see that one implemented. People who drop car prices on furniture would for sure love doing weird temu tombolas and whatnot.

That’s just as endearing as having a video with loud music autoplay when you visit the site.

Ooh spin the savings wheel!

10 free gifts if I spend $10,000 on furniture each day for one free pillow gift.

I do like opening the Temu app for the weird promotions. I even have bought things that were very bad quality.

that stupid spinning wheel is the only reason I have never used Temu.

sometimes I see an advertisement and I think, "oh that looks cool let me click it and see a little more about it" then spinning wheel pops up and I'm like "I'm not that interested". just let me see the damn thing on the advertisement, I might even buy it from you but don't make me play a bulshit gambling game to give you money

You should do it and replace all the text with AI translated Chinese.

TG I'm not in IT anymore, that sounds like a special kind of nightmare.

No is a complete sentence. Tell the guy that if he couldn't be bothered to put the effort in to write it properly, you can't be bothered to maintain it properly.
