This is really the truth of all things in life.

The problem is that they actually work. I've been involved in having to implement these nightmares and it turns out that normal people do actually interact with them and it does result in increased revenue.

> If I work with a human Junior and they make an error or I familiarize them with any quirk of our workflow, and I correct them, they will recall that correction moving forward

I really wish that were the case. Most of the Jr Engineers I work with have to be told the same thing multiple times, in different ways, for things to stick.

Do you have some examples for that?

Most cases I've seen with more complex interfaces is due to the fact that it is what the interface truly expects. Usually making it simpler tends to mean it's actually wrong or incomplete.

Are miscarriages then involuntary manslaughter?

Also agree that the example code base is not the best example to use.

The Chromium code base is a joy to read and I would routinely spend hours just reading it to understand deeper topics relating to the JS runtime.

Compared to my company's much smaller code base that would take hours just to understand the most simplest things because it was written so terribly.

Yes, the ability to have critical thinking skills is the key differentiator between the two types of developers mentioned.

I think that is what a lot of these discussions seem to be miss: the issue is not really the hard tech skills/knowledge. It is more about the softer critical thinking abilities or personalities that allow someone to become skilled at something or solve a problem easier/better.

What were you expecting them to do instead: use mmap instead?

How could it not be?

If someone was doing much better than you it would be hard to know or it was more formalized within the social hierarchy itself: nobles, kings, etc.

Now all you have to do is open social media and see dozens of people doing things you could never even dream of doing.

> to be honest I have no idea why

Generally because the chargeback-rate of typical paid-for porn providers was exceptionally high. When I worked at one we had to use special merchant providers that would charge up to 10% or higher for each transaction because of it.

Been bouldering pretty heavily for the last three years but I have not found it to be a very good place for meeting people.

Completely agree with this. I used to skip most of my classes but would get As on all of my tests.

Now I struggle immensely on going through the every day grind of adult life.

I would argue pretty much every mainstream sport that will allow you to live off of requires starting at that age.

I don't know as much about other sports but for professional climbing you need to have started before 11 to make a living in the comp circuit.

Not sure if I would call it "new". Swimbaits have been around for as long as I've been fishing (several decades).

However there is definitely way more advanced ones then when I first started fishing.
