I’ve got to compliment you. This is one of the better conversations that I’ve had online in a very long time. You’re a big part of why this has been so enjoyable. Thanks for the fun and for raising so many good points. I was a lot more certain before I started reading you and now I’m not sure. Big respect and thanks again. If you’re interested, here’s an absolute nightmare scenario that actually happened. People were completely unprepared for what they were walking into. It had every chance to end in tragedy, but somehow it worked out okay. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/missing-children-burke-mountain-coquitlam-1.5142571 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/missing-chil...

A spirited debate now and again is good for the brain. :) It challenges your thoughts and positions, and makes you actually question and rationalize why you think the things you do. On occasion, you realize you were wrong. On other occasions, it enables you to fully develop your thoughts and prepare to rationally support them. Either way, it's healthy, and far preferred to being in an echo chamber hearing only your own thoughts. Thanks for taking the time to participate.

  I completely agree with you and I'm absolutely grateful for all the opportunity that people like you give me to escape my own echo chamber. Hacker News has made me a better person, a better developer and given me the tools to become a better parent. I can't say that about any other community I've ever been a part of. Thank you and everyone else for being part of my growth. I love you all unconditionally, but especially because you won't just blow smoke up my ass and let me think I'm smrt. I guess that's maybe not unconditional love, but that's the best phrase I can come up with to explain how I feel about all the wisdom and kindness that I get to experience here.
