I don't care what a sycophantic machine "thinks" because I can get any answer I want out of it by subtly changing the phrasing of the question. I thought you had legitimate points to discuss in good faith, not this nonsense.

How about we start with just one, like software development with its abundance of data? It's going to look far less silly for you when that one doesn't work out either.

It doesn't matter either way. OP was thinking about ways to consume someone's bandwidth. A zip bomb doesn't consume bandwidth, it consumes computing resources of its recipient when they try to unpack it.

No their results are correct. It roughly halved the compilation time on a newly generated Phoenix project. I'm assuming the savings would be more extensive on projects with multiple native dependencies that have lengthy compilation.
