That's the way. I've been programming for nigh on four decades, and it's almost a daily occurrence with junior devs going to stack overflow or chatGPT to solve an issue instead of just searching the code where nine times out of ten the problem (or a very similar one) is already solved.

Laying off a lot of people does wonders for the end of year report...
Plenty of philosophers over the centuries have thought long and hard about the free will problem, and not all of them have come out on the side of it existing. David Hume, for instance, had to resort to religion to solve his issues with it (God made us have free will), and several contemporary philosophers have come down firmly on the "deterministic but complex enough to look non-deterministic" side of the fence. in essence, that free will is an illusion, but a good enough one that we still feel like we have it.
They tried it in France after the revolution IIRC. Didn't work all that well :)
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

That was an interesting read, thank you!
Heh, haven't seen the bash forkbomb in close to two decades... Thanks for the trip down memory lane! :)
Biggest problem with it is that it lies with the exact same confidence it tells the truth. Or, put another way, it's confidently incorrect as often as it is confidently correct - and there's no way to tell the difference unless you already know the answer.

BizTalk was (is?) a solid and also quite impressive product. That said, I'm happy I haven't had to work with it for years π
I've always been partial to "sticks and stones may break my bones but words can really hurt me".
