Ok I think I've got it.

Jesus is like Voltron, the 3 dudes in the middle combine to form him.
And the 2 on the ends are the spiritual equivalent of two men each, which is why all the parts of Jesus are hanging out with them.

Yeah, Google translate doesn't actually work well. If you can speak any English, it's probably better to do it yourself, even if it's not your first language

That better be a bidet, because there isn't enough room to wipe in there

Sure, but that's not nearly as funny as oversimplifying it

Not only the pollution.

It has triggered an economic race to the bottom for any industry that can incorporate it. Employers will be forced to replace more workers with AI to keep prices competitive. And that is a lot of industries, especially if AI continues its growth.
The result is a lot of unemployment, which means an economic slowdown due to a lack of discretionary spending, which is a feedback loop.

There are only 3 outcomes I can imagine:

  1. AI fizzles out. It can't maintain its advancement enough to impress execs.
  2. An unimaginable wealth disparity and probably a return to something like feudalism.
  3. social revolution where AI is taken out of the hands of owners and placed into the hands of workers. Would require changes that we'd consider radically socialist now, like UBI and strong af social safety nets.

The second seems more likely than the third, and I consider that more or less a destruction of humanity

There are common traps and employer don't spend money/time to train their devs to avoid them.

SOLID principles are pretty decent but a surprising number of people don't do any of them

If your function is so long that keeping track of returns becomes burdensome, the function is too long.

I'm not a fan of returning status codes, but that's a pretty clear example of early return validation where you can't just replace it with a single condition check. Having a return value that you set in various places and then return at the end is worse than early return.

My only excuse is that I just woke up and my eyes were still bleary.

Wait... Does this mean we can get some Lemonussyade?

Well... IDK what else could have possibly gotten my wife's attention, because I'm sure AF not hot or cool.

For example, on side by side views, you can draw a box around it on both sides, and draw a line connecting the two
