The bends doesn't necessarily kill you. It definitely can if the decompression is fast enough with a large pressure differential, but it can also cause pain or dizziness without death.

Idiots shouldn't buy things they can't afford. I have no sympathy for someone that buys a gigantic overpriced truck and gets it repossessed because they're not paying the bill.

I think it means you're killing yourself, instead of getting hanged by a hangman for example. Similar to shooting yourself in the foot.

You sound like the kind of person that thinks tomatoes are vegetables.

It's just a tool like any other. An experienced developer knows that you can't apply every tool to every situation. Just like you should know the difference between threads and coroutines and know when to apply them. Or know which design pattern is relevant to a given situation. It's a tool, and a useful one if you know how to use it.

Extremely misleading title. He didn't say programmers would be a thing of the past, he said they'll be doing higher level design and not writing code.

He's a billionaire. He can probably pull some strings.

Why would they use buckshot? Wouldn't bird shot be better against drones?

Communities tend to attract like minded individuals. It's not that everyone is exactly the same, but those that are very different or have very different opinions don't generally stay for long. That said, even within those like minded individuals there's a wide spectrum of opinions.

For me there are a handful of topics I know I'll get down voted for sharing, because it goes against the majority. And that's fine, it doesn't stop me from sharing my opinion, and I don't really mind the downvotes. I think in general though as long as you're able to share your opinion with nuance and self awareness, and it's not something mean or hateful people will hear you out.
