How about we start characterizing "company lying to us" as theft, and put them in actual jail for it, then? If you want to treat corporations like people with liberties, let's make basic laws like fraud and theft have consequ

Programming is a very varied field. Sometimes people forget that their coding experience can be totally different than anothers. Consider someone trying to do a 3D game in C# vs a web application back end. The kind of performance pitfalls
