This honestly just reads as “this model failed exactly where the company said it would but I’m very special and deserve special treatment rather than the same overactive guardrails I and everyone else were told we would get.”

Pedantic pet peeve: the past tense of “lead” as in “leader” is "led". NOT "LEAD". Lead is a metal. “When Curiosity Lead the Way” is a nonsensical phrase.

Would be a shame if someone used this to track down the ICE towers and vandalize them.

Disagree. This sounds like a manager that would drive me absolutely insane.

Swift is in the process of fixing this, but it’s a slow and painful transition; there’s an awful lot of unsafe code in the wild that wasn’t unsafe until recently.

That blog post is pretty close to describing Swift. :)

This strikes me as a tad disingenuous. Indeed, why try anything new? Why can’t everything be the same forever?

Folks like variety. Maybe you don’t, that’s fine, but acting incredulous about it isn’t going to make you any friends.

I was in the same boat for many years (as in, my whole 35 year life), and today I still hate “coffee-flavored” stuff. But one day I was really tired and had to get stuff done, and asked for a recommendation for a coffee drink for someone who doesn’t like coffee. The suggestion was a vanilla latte. Fast forward a year and a half, and now I drink coffee almost every day.

If you haven’t given that or a caramel macchiato a try, I’d highly recommend it. You might be surprised. I was.

Yes! My partner teases me for this, but From games are what I tend to gravitate towards when I need to relax.

Just a quick shout-out; I was one of the many many students you taught at Lambda School, and just wanted to say your instruction was one of the highlights of my time there. Thanks for doing what you do!
