I mean the quality of people following NASAs C style guidelines. Where is there any evidence that people using the protected title are producing higher quality software than companies in equivalent industries in the US?

That’s different. Deciding you’re building a tool for a specific use-case is not related to “average users”. Tool companies manufacture claw hammers despite some people wanting a nail gun. You don’t try to make a thing flexible enough to be

A quick way to discredit your own point is to confuse revenue with profit. Never mention revenue when you are trying to claim companies can afford to do X or Y. Grocery stores famously have large revenues but very narrow profit margins so

The difference is that LLMs pretend to be experts on all things. The high school shop kids aren’t under the impression they can build a smart toaster or whatever.

The long tail of routers receiving your update doesn’t matter. Once the common transit networks get it, that’s where the rest would dump the traffic to reach you anyway. The only time slow propagation to the edges matters is the first time
