Andy Yen's values are incompatible with Proton's mission. He advocates for poor security practices, supports fascists, and he verbally abuses his subordinates. As such, I can no longer in good conscience continue to financially support a company with such terrible leadership.

Unfortunately for me, my subscription just renewed last month on a multi year plan, but it does give me time to browse for and experiment with alternatives.

If you're able, I encourage you to do the same and cite Andy Yen as the driving factor for your decision. We can't let these tech bro fascists destroy what little semblance of privacy we have left.

I may only have 10 years of experience coding but I can still see how shitty the output is, and even listed an example.

Then you should be putting more time into your tools. Nobody uses a blank of wood to hammer something, and then decides 'wow, hammers aren't good tools," you're just using a shit hammer.

And, to be clear, I work in a full-stack environment and regularly generate HTML and CSS without the issue you mentioned... you can't just pull a frontier model without any skills/rules/mcps and expect it to just do the work. You need design docs and thorough rules for your environment. An LLM is a tool, not a developer.

Cryptographic high security stuff though? There's no way in hell that thing isn't going to introduce a security risk.

That's totally fair. They can only get ~75% of the way there on crypto stuff rn. Amazing at the other side, though (pen testing)
