Agreed, I think a lot of people do not appreciate the complexity of software systems. If we could prove software, we wouldn't have bugs. https://wiki.c2.com/?ProofsCantProveTheAbsenceOfBugs

Yes modern day a/c is usually a heatpump. I’ve noticed a lot of people misunderstanding heat pumps, and thinking it’s some sort of replacement for A/C. Or that heat pumps are some new tech.
