Hiring people is not autopilot. You can hire a CEO for example.

People googling Google, which is a lot.

I'm not sure if SMS and email are ever considered urgent enough for this purpose. The alert is sent out seconds before, it's either a loud and unusual sound or you might get to read/answer after it actually hits.

i.e. it'd be useless.

Absolutely shameless. I’m glad that they’re doing this in the complete open instead of painting themselves as the good guys (unlike, ahem, other western countries)

I’m curious, why?

I have no proof here, but don't underestimate the power of a rock near one’s delicate areas. It's easier to get a key by just asking politely.

You can’t start up the equivalent of “half a country’s nuclear reactors” in 2 weeks. For this to happen you must already have an excess of renewables, which they obviously don’t have.

What will happen is that more coal will be burned because coal always works and is instantly available; Sun and wind isn’t.

Is this not antagonistic? It's pointless to make these statements, so your parent comment pointed it out. Go downvote the first one instead.

The problem I encounter while developing occasionally is that I encounter a series of errors and in the end you stop wanting to report the 5th bug of the day and just want to fix things the best way you can. Sometimes that attempt goes sour, sometimes it gets me out of the problem in 5 minutes.

> if only reported

Reporting bugs can be super time consuming, especially if your project is large and the maintainer has a high bar for bug reports (e.g. "provide a codesandbox link"). I can't spend 20 minutes reporting a bug that will be auto-closed in 6 months when I can attempt fixing it instead, especially if I'm annoyed at the tool already. This used to happen a lot with browsers and nowadays it happens with build tools and libraries.
