"Gregorein's review highlighted that Tan's website made 169 server requests totaling 6.42 megabytes, while Hacker News only made 7 requests for 12 kilobytes."
"The site shipped 28 test files to every visitor's browser, amounting to 300 KB of developer scaffolding that users never requested."
"Tan's website loaded 78 different JavaScript controllers for features not present on the homepage, forcing browsers to download them 'just in case'."
"The logo was downloaded in eight different formats, including a completely empty 0-byte file that somehow made it to production."
Garry Tan claimed to deploy 37,000 lines of code daily across five projects, boasting a 72-day shipping streak. However, a review by developer Gregorein revealed inefficiencies in Tan's AI-focused website. The site made 169 server requests totaling 6.42 megabytes, compared to Hacker News's 7 requests for 12 kilobytes. It included 28 unnecessary test files and 78 JavaScript controllers not visible on the homepage. Additionally, the site used large, uncompressed PNGs and downloaded the logo in eight formats, including a 0-byte file.
