And if either your linter or you personally hate goto, the acceptable trick for this in C is a "do ... while (0);" loop with a "break;" statement inside it acting exactly like "goto end;".

One reason why Scrum never made sense in any of the teams I worked for during my career is that, as I understand it, the planning phase in Scrum assumes that any team member can work on any task, which was always very far from reality. Since we always had either ownership or at least individual preferences, planning individual tasks did not make much sense.

Now, since each agent can indeed can work on any task, the Scrum planning can finally make sense!

Tabling as they do in the US, or tabling as they do in Britain?

Your reasoning makes sense, and I was concerned in a similar way when I filed my arbitration case (for about $8k) against the manufacturer of my leased car. The so called “Lemon law” in California suggests the arbitration as the first step. Surprisingly enough, I won the case, and it only took me about an hour of collecting documents and filling in the forms, and 45 minutes of the phone call.

Even though the car manufacturer does indeed pay for the arbitration, I never felt the arbiter was biased, and the judgement was completely in my favor.

For the past two years or so I've been trying to follow this philosophy too, preferring to ship (that is, publish) my hobby projects as soon as they are even remotely useful for someone, and it more or less works for something that can be published e.g. as a website.

For apps, it's a whole different story: app reviewers won't let incomplete apps in their stores, and even for compete apps filling in all the paperwork (privacy policy, support contacts, age ratings and whatnot) can easily take a day (or more, if you're doing it for the first time). I kinda bite the bullet and work on making my whatever prototype into a publishable MVP, but that part often feels just like work and not like a fun project as it's supposed to be.

Not at all. For example, arrival of Uber was very visible and destructive to taxi industries in many places; I witnessed it in Moscow, Russia where I lived for a few years back then. In 2012, if you needed a quick ride from an underground station to your home, you needed to bargain with some random dude waiting near the station in a very shitty car, and pay cash (good luck if you need change). Fast forward a year or two, and you can hail a ride from your phone using either Uber or a local Yandex.

TL;DR: yet another California city decides to dump Flock.

Here's a quote from their terms and conditions:

  Governing Law; Venue.
  All claims arising out of or relating to the AdSense
  Terms or the Services will be governed by California
  law, excluding California's conflict of laws rules,
  and will be litigated exclusively in the federal or
  state courts of Santa Clara County, California, USA,
  and you and Google consent to personal jurisdiction
  in those courts.

Okay, I do indeed live in Santa Clara County, California, so if I ever get in a situation where I might want to sue Google Ads, I might as well try and see how local courts work, especially if the claim is small enough for the small claims court. For those who do not live here, it might be a prohibitive requirement.

Most likely it will work. It will also look very LLM-generated, “claudish”, and people will be able to tell that they are looking at the vibe-coded frontend.

Inside, there will be dragons: you will probably learn that all your CSS and JS are inline in your HTML, and that each page has its own implementation of the header and the footer, and other things like that, but if you don't plan to support it as a real product, you probably won't care.

Don't jinx it. We are extremely lucky in this regard, and it actually looks like a rare exception.
