That's the way. I've been programming for nigh on four decades, and it's almost a daily occurrence with junior devs going to stack overflow or chatGPT to solve an issue instead of just searching the code where nine times out of ten the problem (or a very similar one) is already solved.

Laying off a lot of people does wonders for the end of year report...
I started a new job some months back, and my boss straight up told us in a team meeting "we're not paying you to give 100% all the time, that's not possible. We're paying you for your average effort. Everyone has good days and bad, so don't worry about it. Just do the job as good as you can on any given day and if we were right in hiring you, that will be enough." Kind of blew my mind and confirmed I'd done the right thing signing with that company.
Plenty of philosophers over the centuries have thought long and hard about the free will problem, and not all of them have come out on the side of it existing. David Hume, for instance, had to resort to religion to solve his issues with it (God made us have free will), and several contemporary philosophers have come down firmly on the "deterministic but complex enough to look non-deterministic" side of the fence. in essence, that free will is an illusion, but a good enough one that we still feel like we have it.
They tried it in France after the revolution IIRC. Didn't work all that well :)
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes

That was an interesting read, thank you!
Heh, haven't seen the bash forkbomb in close to two decades... Thanks for the trip down memory lane! :)
An also a lot of middle-class western people. 1% of the world's population is about 80 million people.
You'd have to go down to 0.001% to only target the ultra-wealthy.
