It makes sense why you are feeling that reaction to the reactions to your comments and how that relates to people's mixed reactions to the author's gamedev advice... what I can't understand is the phrase "rejecting criticality, as it relates to intention."

Disagree entirely.

Really? I find that it makes it so much more pleasant and easy to read. I read it much faster than I would have without bold. The author is telling you which parts of the sentence are most important, so your brain frees up that processing part where you have to figure that out.

The vast majority of my development time for any project is setting up a server, database, web framework, etc. It's a massive pain in the ass and gets in the way of what I'm actually trying to do.

I don't think you should write code where it makes a difference if the None came from a T that happened to be None or from a None.

How is it natural to write code like that?

If it's None, don't put it in the cache. If T is None, don't put it in the cache.

if (typeof input != None) putInCache(input)

Comments, updating dependencies, or documentation

Because nothing really ever happens because of random chance. Everything has a reason, and to pretend it happened because of random chance is to say you don't care enough what the reason was to try to figure it out.

That's not... a good thing. Who cares about "the preservation of the species". If 7 billion people die and the remaining survivors are happier than ever, that's a huge loss IMO.

If a mouse can get in your house, so can a fly. There are holes

Why distilled water? It presumably doesn't rain distilled water outside.

We aren't doomed as a species, but billions of people will die.

Everyone being afraid is WAY better than people being convinced climate change is a non-issue.
