I see the same difficulties with some games, for instance those that do not lend themselves to a simple score board. When I join a stream of someone playing a strategy game which also has a tactical layer, you are usually equally clueless a

How am I, that by way of misfortune and bad timing, ended up depending on the obscure "feature" added in 1.2.3, to know that upgrading to 1.2.4 will actually break my thing?

Are there the same problems with counterfeiting in their grocery department? How can you be sure that your organic flour, almonds and coffee or are really what they claim and not some relabelled non-organic GMO product?

Most people can be brought to realise that they are going somewhere dark when they're using typeof in an if statement. This is a whole language construct built and communicated around this (dark) idea. I understand that general pattern

The use of pattern matching on types in an object oriented languages scares me. It's like a too easily wielded extremely powerful dependency magnet.

Is it coincidental that this GPUs on Compute Enginge were announced recently? This seems like a nice burn-in test and it being completed should free up ressources.
