Yup. They released the air - but that’s not what I want. I want a smaller phone, not thinner.

I love that he got in because the trunk was left open, and then couldn’t get out.

Failure mode they hadn’t thought of yet

Trying to figure out how to align this with my experiences (which match the parents’ comment), and I have an idea:

Coding contests are not like my job at all.

My job is taking fuzzy human things and making code that solves it. Frankly AI isn’t good at closing open issues on open source projects either.
