    I’m simply saying that I’m not paying for access to the code. I’m paying for access to the high performance magic pattern machine.

    I can and have browsed code all day for 35 years. Magic pattern machine is worth paying for to save time.

    To be clear, stackoverflow and similar sites have also been worth paying for. Now this is the latest thing worth paying for.

    I understand you have ethical concerns. But that doesn’t negate the usefulness of magic pattern machine.
