It's moslty due to how the protocol works. Sending and Receiving are asynchronous and may or may not follow the same path. When sending the other side is the server, when receiving, you are the one. The protocol also has the concept of

I like math. I’ve done engineering in college which included a fair share of it and pursue it for fun. Programming is also not math for me. It’s formal notation where you’re manipulating things encoded as numbers. Just like music sheets are

Human written is not a proxy of good code. But human written and published on a hosting platform (with the additional artifacts like docs, build system, tests) are generally good. While LLM may generate all of these, but they are slop.

I’d say all of them. Most people use computers as tools or as entertainment platforms. While a bug may not be life threatening in most cases, it is annoying and stress generating.
