This is a practical big-O notation question just waiting to happen.

It's probably both.

This is a poor analogy because I don't think your inability to do long division will cause as much damage as an inability to bring the site back up in an emergency situation.

Yeah, this really blew me away. I took a graduate computational complexity course and the original prof had to drop out due to health reasons. We got another professor from a completely different field who was basically as green in the field as we were, but with far better research chops. It turned the course into kind of a long-running lab where we just kind of did whatever we wanted. We spent a lot of time just philosophizing (mostly uselessly) about the ETH. I am very chuffed to see this result.

I don't think we need a diagnosis for "asshole"

How long would you be able to sustain a mostly-comfortable lifestyle if you were to lose your job right now with no chance of finding new employment? If the answer is, say, more than a year, that might alter your perspective on the issue.

C++ requires defensive programming, so I guess it fits that defense requires C++ programming.
