I think we're agreeing. I just don't think loyalty (necessarily) implies mutual trust and support. I've been accused of being disloyal simply for being honest and not agreeing with someone else's stance. So in my gut, lo

That's experience, which has nothing to do with loyalty.

Yeah, you could. I'm just saying that by doing this you're breaking `db.execute` by not allowing it to take it string like it does now. Libraries may not want to add a breaking change for this.

agreed. but then you're breaking the existing `db.execute(str)`. if you don't do that, and instead add `db.safe_execute(tpl: Template)`, then you're back to the risk that a user can forget to call the safe function. also, you

Same is true if someone forgets to use t" and uses f" instead. At least db.safe says what it does, unlike t".

Stack overflow was never a good excuse for crappy work and neither is AI. Your real problem is a people problem: hiring, management, feedback, etc.

Agree, but many more people listen to music than create it. And people that enjoy creating art will still do it regardless. A better example of the problem imo is the robot advertised to watch your kids so you can work.

This is a great policy. Ironically, it can also be used to justify "cheating"... but not in a bad way. If a university course is a requirement and I have no interest in learning the material, it makes sense for me to speedrun the
