Does that technically count as a confession?

At least not until there's a damn web version.

Bro, you used your pillow sales to try and incite insurrection on the thinnest of bullshit data. The fact that the vast majority of folks with sense thought maybe you shouldn't have pillow sales to fund terrible ideas anymore is kinda on you.

What's even better is that the guy in question - Robert Zeidman - is, in fact a Trump supporter. But as a data analytics engineer, he wasn't able to fool himself with bullshit data.

I'm of the mind that the whole "AI could be an existential threat" mindset is some deeply "one simple trick" thinking mixed with "fear of the unknown" thinking. That is, there's some convoluted path towards the unattainable that superhuman AI could suss out and would have the resources to execute, that individual humans or groups thereof could not - and that path necessarily leads to destruction. I'm not well convinced by it.

I'm sorry, but why is this not an AbstractToolBuildingFactoryFactoryFactory? How are you going to derive alternatives?

Creating new objects would confuse your ORM vs. Always create new objects? Well, you've convinced me.

If you just made copy constructors in the first example, the problem wouldn't have existed. This is wholly contrived, and I feel dumber for having watched it.

Not even saying I like OOP, or that functional isn't usually a better paradigm - but this was the goofiest argument I've seen for it.

Meanwhile, threaded code is often more fragile than tissue.

May work. May not. Haven't tested.

You know what does work as a variable name? ಠ_ಠ
