As a listener, I think you're probably still safe. Can you use this to help you though? Maybe. It's impressive what it produces, but I think it probably lacks substance in the same way the visual AI art stuff does. For the most pa

Mortality is nuanced, and not everything needs to have a protagonist and an antagonist (or victims). Anyway, the licences were purchased 10 years ago at an affordable price, and the author is offering to extend licenses if people email them

The nice thing about functional programming is that it allows you to shift some of the "mundane" domain thinking onto the type system. A classical example of that might be to mix units in physics code. So, nonsenses like adding up

IMO the best way to split things is either by scalability, or user needs, or sometimes by domain (but this is too nuanced to fit into a comment). I suppose there might be security or certification/regulatory requirements too, but also

I could be wrong, but I think people get irked by shallow virtue signaling, especially when it's combined with superficial thoughts-and-prayers type of aid/advice, more than the the choice of political issues. Although, I suppose
