This looks like an admittedly clever hack to avoid the fantastically expensive APM and still get some useful exception logging. I really wanted to use Datadog’s APM but $31 per host was too much. The downsides to logging to the event stream

I'd like to see an org-chart depth analysis for different organizations. It'd be interesting to map bureaucratic processes to the structure of an org chart and verify Conway's law. The U.S. Army uses the concept of a span of

I don't understand what you mean by provably. The Java example does the exact same thing as the JS version: create a shallow clone with a different age. Do you mean the builder might do something different? // Java
