Could you provide some context for this question?

For example, are older CS grads more likely than recent CS grads to be impressed by the potential of vibe programming?

“I learned a lot” - this has the advantage of being, hopefully, true. And you probably worked with some interesting and talented people. Think about your positive interactions with them.


Also laggy on my iPad Air.


Just think, Pascal on an Apple II cost about $1,800 in today’s dollars.


Was that before or including the extra hardware (RAM) to run it?


That’s a shocking number. I actually have a hard time believing it.


Works for me.


I thought this would take at least another month.

Maybe next month it’ll be announced that Social Security payments will only be available through the upcoming payment feature of X.


Rich people get that way because they love money. Loving money means they want more and more and more, no matter how much they get.


The best programmers know that using the free resource of the Internet Archive is the optimal approach for their own effort and cost, versus making their own website scale for a temporary load? (Kidding…I think)


Taking on a big risk shouldn’t make one feel cavalier about other risks, even if they’re smaller.

(Spoken like the project planner I used to be)


Sure, but there has to be a risk in the first place, and there is just no evidence that corroded cans lead to food poisoning.

The most recent botulin report from the CDC lists 19 confirmed foodborne cases in the entire US. of those 19, it looks like only 7 were related to outbreaks tied to suspected commercial food circumstantially (no tests confirmed this), the rest were from home-canning.

See table 2 here: https://www.cdc.gov/botulism/php/national-botulism-surveilla... . Note that 2019 was the worst year that the CDC has for commercial prepared food. 2018 and 2017 had one suspected commercial can related incident each.

Basically, if you are getting botulin toxin poisoning, it is going to come from inside a can that was physically fine, or, much more likely, a home cooked meal.

A project planner should hopefully look at a risk, and think: This is a 1 in a billion risk at best (assuming that the average American eats at least 3 cans worth of goods per year).


My mom used to avoid dented cans because of botulism risk. I still do, out of habit.


Dented cans aren’t a sign of botulism.

Botulism increases internal pressure of a can, so cans that are puffed are dangerous.
