Well said. The company is actually more focused on earth moving, but the same arguments you make apply there, if not even more. Earth moving is a very exhausting job that most would be glad to have automated. A little known fact is that you

When someone uses an odd number of indentation! That really grinds my gears for some reason.

Tunnel-visioned article, honestly. I mean, why does he gloss over the fact that scalpers don't care about captchas - they can just outsource solving them to other humans. Giving your driver's license or passport to some entertainm

That's right up my alley. I've been thinking about writing something in this style but with a jazz biome twist (kind of like steampunk but with a jazz-centric world instead of steam power). Do you use a specific text editor or git

Nah, I'm young and even to me the author's just on the extreme side of "digital native". The first thing I saw in the article was this and knew it was fake, too: "Considering the storage constraints back then"
