Exactly! You actually CAN have 50 people finish something 50x faster, but it takes a shitload of planning, and that equals time and money no company I have ever worked for, or even known of, would allocate to something that isn’t generating immediate income.

Take the Hoover Dam for example: Dsigned over 3 ish years and built in 5, at a time when nothing that huge had ever been made before, at less than a billion in today money, and 2 years ahead of schedule. It’s 90 years old.

JavaScript: :wide eyed and smiling: Sure why not! You’re the boss!

We’re on social media, linguistic nihilism is the free square.

we should all standardize on Esperanto. Not because it is good, but because regardless of which language you know, Esperanto is the last choice, and thus the only equal choice.

you have concisely convinced me how terrible an idea this is.

I believe it was announced that 3.14 will make it an optional flag, so here’s to hoping.

OP was technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Python needs an update:

Python would be a Tavor TS12 automatic shotgun with rotating tube magazines. It’s heavy, doesn’t have a fast fire rate, but it can fire a ridiculous array of ammunition, and they’re working on the ability to fire all the barrels at once (GILess)
