Or, you can use your imagination building on top of the sum of all human knowledge distilled into a language model. Your choice.

The entire field of software engineering has plenty of depth without requiring you to be the person actually writing and reading the code. The author falsely conflates reading and writing the code to be the same as understanding the structure and design and architecture of the system. These two things aren't the same and never were.

> If you read Carl Hoffman's book Savage Heart you see that the tribe that are suspected to have eaten Michael Rockefeller probably gave up cannibalism for good not long afterward (i.e. the early 60s).

He must have tasted pretty bad then.

I lived in Igam Barracks in Lae for 2 years when my father was posted there from the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). His name is William Fiedler.

The trappings of colonialism were still all around when we stayed there in the mid 80s.

We had a house Mary who came over from a nearby village and worked for us, Mrs C. There was a hut behind each house for the house Mary or house man. Pidgin English was spoken. Betel nut stains covered the sidewalks in Lae.

Still it was an incredible experience for a 10 year old I'd like to go back one day, but it's unlikely I'll ever get the chance.

Truly an amazing place and people.
