No, the point is to stop you from being sloppy. The code won't compile if you're sloppy with memory management. You can be _relatively_ sure that you're not introducing memory unsafety by adding a dependency, but you can

By the 1940s and 50s, computers were already being used for practical and useful work, and calculating machines had a _long_ history of being useful, and it didn't take that long between the _idea_ of a calculating machine and having s

Be _very_ careful about refactoring with Cursor -- it has a tendency to randomly delete important blocks of code and comments and re-order things in a way that make for difficult diffs to read. Make sure you do it in relatively small chunk

I would say that almost all of what humans do is not the result of reasoning, and that reasoning is an unnatural and learned skill for humans, and most humans aren't good at even very basic reasoning.
