- jazzyjackson 2y agoBit of a selection bias there, people with range as a concern don’t become EV drivers, same goes for people terrified of parentheses.
- Jach 2y agoI don't think that's a great example, as I never heard of "range anxiety" until EVs started to become popular, and it was applied to and admitted by exclusively owners of EVs and also E-bikes. But it's 2025, it was enough to downvote and ignore the GP comment... Even responding with a dismissive https://www.thejach.com/imgs/lisp_parens.png https://www.thejach.com/imgs/lisp_parens.png is too much in current year. Another comment mentions paredit/parinfer, I'm not exactly masochistic but I hate tools that automatically type more than indentation for me so I don't use them, but I also basically never think about counting parens.
