Didn't people already do that before, copy and pasting code off stack overflow? I don't like it either but this issue has always existed, but perhaps it is more common now

That's a ridiculous accusation. Swift is not an uncommon adjective.

> Sequoia buying UFC is really strange, too.

I'm having trouble finding sources for this. I do see that Sequoia Capital China invested in ONE Championship, but not Sequoia and UFC

There's key parts left out of that quote that changes the tone quite a bit. Here is the full one

"Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%." - Donald Knuth

> By mutable data do you mean - change data coming from OLTP databases?

Yes, exactly! I see there is some kind of support, but is it possible to use the OLTP database as an event source?

For example, say I had a table in my OLTP database, `data.returns`, that had columns `ts`, the event time, and `status`, which can be PENDING or COMPLETED. I'd like to generate point-in-time correct training data, where the feature is the count of completed returns. It seems like all the necessary information to calculate this is there

How does Chronon handle mutable data when backfilling? Or does it make some assumptions on the underlying data?
