     @dalias it’s always the problem of people who enjoy the puzzle of implementing any random idea. If only they tried sudokus instead.

     @maxine I'm not convinced of that. This is all boilerplate type shit, no interesting problem. They probably had their slop extruder "write" it for them.

     I don't think people who rush to comply in advance are necessarily evil. Some of them are, but some of them probably have trauma based reasons or something. But in any case people who do this are dangerous and should not be in roles where they're able to do this.

     @dalias a problem doesn’t have to be interesting for someone to get enjoyment out of slapping first on it. Same as any would be Linnaeus who wants to document living communities.
