That comment sounds pretty benign to me. I also don't know why you're assuming the original commenter is male. The only person in the wrong here is you, and you're wrong twice over.

And where, exactly, did this commenter say that vibe coders are "stupid and one dimensional"? Stop putting words in people's mouths.

I would suggest reading this blog post from Meta, which should resolve your concerns: https://engineering.fb.com/2024/01/18/developer-tools/lazy-i... Regarding risks in practice: > Libraries such as P

The issue is that some imports can be made lazy and some cannot. A binaristic all-or-nothing approach does not address the issue. (I also think that there is zero basis to claim that adding such a flag is trivial, since there’s no reference

No, the point is that most people in this thread do not appreciate the complexity of implementing lazy imports. If you disagree, your energy is better spent talking to a CPython core developer about implementation details of making baseless

I also hope this proposal succeeds, but I'm not optimistic. This will break tons of code and introduce a slew of footguns. Import statements fundamentally have side effects, and when and how these side effects are applied will cause my

> Using `importlib` is a horrible hack that breaks basically all tooling. You very very obviously are not supposed to do that. This is an assertion that has absolutely no reasoning behind it. I'm not saying I disagree; I'm just

Perhaps I'm not aware of the intricacies of Zig or AWS Lambda, but what is this library supposed to provide? It is well known that services written in two different languages can communicate with one another over HTTP (or TCP, or UDP,

The fact of the matter is that Slack knew they were a nonprofit and made the deliberate decision to engage in the SaaS equivalent of rent-seeking. This is honest engagement, and given the circumstances I think people in this thread have bee

There is about as much ownership here as a squatter in a two-bedroom apartment. They are apologizing because they got caught, not because they genuinely believe they messed up.

> This was a mistake. This looks extremely deliberate to me. Are you seriously suggesting that one of your sales reps accidentally demanded $250k from a bunch of teenagers?

That's a lot of buzzwords to say that you enjoy shoving everything in one function. :)

Thanks for posting. I like the concept but ran into several showstopping bugs. I clicked on the "Start Interview" button and received a "No response from Gemini" error. When I exited the interview, it said that I had use
