You seem to be concerned over a non-issue: I'm pretty sure you're the only person in this entire discussion who misinterpreted the graph. Does that mean the people you're talking about are yourself? :P

How would performance be a concern for rendering the UI of a terminal app? Surely that happens in less than 0.001% of all cases. And of course no one in their right mind is implementing the core functionality of their app with react state

Is it really that hard for you to intuit the intent that it's a graph that slopes upwards?

I don't really agree with this. I go and hang out with my friends, and we don't all end up getting outraged about stuff. I go for a walk in the park and no one is shouting at me; I go to a restaurant and people are sitting around

The claim that VSCode was just an editor seemed flimsy the day it was released. Now, it is absurd.

That's a great point, I didn't even think of that. I would use error types as well, yes.

I don't know. I really don't see any clarity improvements between, `user.password.length >= 8 && passwordRules.every((rule) => rule.test(user.password))` and `validatePassword(password)`. What if you want to add that

I remember when I was a kid, the doctor thought that my blood pressure was too high. Of course, I was just anxious because I knew they were going to give me a shot. What kid wouldn't be?? He took it again after I got the shot and it we

The difference between OP and ChatGPT is that OP is actually making insightful points.

Something about OP didn't strike me quite right, but your explanation here really nails it, I think. Especially because I can see that I'm in quite an old JS cohort - and quite happy with the language as a result - but if I were t

GPT-2 and descendants have polluted the internet with AI spam. I don't think that this is too unreasonable of a claim.

Sure, but if YouTube makes up say 20% of culture, that's 20% of conversations they cannot participate in. I'd love to read any source that says that "missing out" on making friends is actually a good thing.

I think this style of meta commentary is more damaging to any discourse than the behavior that you're saying you've identified. Looking over the top comments, other than yours, I see a good majority of people honestly trying to en

I have tried reconstructing minified code (I thought that would be obvious from my example). It feels like it takes just a bit less thought than it did to write the code in the first place, which is definitely not something I would classify
