The stuff in jenis sets up a lot of stuff way later in the series

It was target not walgreens, and it was probably not even real. Please stop belligerently pushing unsubstantiated bullshit as if it's incontrovertible fact. https://www.kdnuggets.com/2014/05/target-predict-teen-pregnancy-inside-story.html

Meanwhile, llms are less useful at helping me write code than intellij was a decade ago

That is a very rudimentary understanding of the system that doesn't always pan out in a particular time frame or due to external factors.

  1. It takes time for that effect to occur
  2. It doesn't take into account barriers to entry, of which there are many for food
  3. It doesn't take into account that there are are actually a small number of companies that own the bulk of our food supply chain and it's in their financial interest to keep prices high for things that are perceived as luxury

It's straight up just because people will pay the price they're asking...

Usually it doesn't matter what abstractions you choose when you try to factor them to support hypothetical future work, because chances are you incorrectly anticipate future needs.

In other words, generic code that only supports one use case will almost certainly have to be deconstructed to allow a good generic implementation for 2 use cases, so it is better to just write simple code and factor code out when you can see the real commonalities.

In other, other words, KISS, YAGNI

I hate reading code like this. It means that there is a bunch of object or global state that could be getting modified by anything all over the place that I can't see just by looking at the method. In other words, if you say you understand this method, it is because you are making assumptions about other code that might be wrong.

I'll take a 30 line pure function over a web of methods changing member state every time.

A lot of discussion in some replies to this, but what I want to know is what you want people to actually do?

Do you think people should vote this upcoming election? If so, who do you think they should vote for?

What do think would happen if people reading this thread (and no one else, let's not pretend we have any sort of real influence here) followed your advice? Would it actually make the world a better place?

They've been pretty sloppy. Even having craft/art descriptions be wrong, which affects gameplay. I miss the quality xseed brought but I guess the newer games are too large for them
