Bruh, Americans spend upwards of 10% of their lives in their cars commuting. This shit saves lives.

Probably because in the United States, about 95% of the country has no homes but is accessible to vehicles.

A far more rational decision would be to have a single child. If you think this is some existential crisis, that's just anti-science. This is an economic and demographic issue. Cutting the population rapidly would have a far greater negative impact than climate migration.

Maybe it's time to start real estate speculation. That's gotta be opening up large amounts of new land for use in Switzerland.

The only place I've ever seen grade B patties in the U.S. was in a military base commissary.

Haggling is racist.

Ahhh... Command economies. Such fond memories of bread lines and revolution...

Capitalists when the Marxists arrive: oh, just sit back, they'll take care of this for us.

Statewide, perhaps in some states. Definitely not nationwide. The $1 menu (when that was a thing) would be completely different between different states.

They also introduced things like the McDouble in some markets to hit a price point (it's essentially a double cheeseburger, but with one less slice of cheese). So, at one time you could get a double cheeseburger on the $1 menu in some places, or a McDouble in other places.

That's true, but only describes a very, very tiny part of software development, even back in the 90s. Most software was being developed to support day-to-day business operations or to market shit online.

The null hypothesis for any software is that it's crap. The burden of proof lies with the guy claiming people are vibe coding good games that would be big hits if only they had a marketing team.

Those apps aren't selling because they are schlock, not because of marketing. No one has ever developed a successful app using vibe coding, unless it's basically just a human management app (think Task Rabbit), where humans actually do all the work.

Yeah, honestly I've never encountered an American institution of student that led me to believe CS was delivering rote memorization.

Maybe this guy just sucks at coder interviews and thinks doing them requires memorizing algos from college.

AI makes the bolting so easy, many devs don't consider whether more bolts is going to help the product, or whether adding bolts to the bottom of a water tank is causing leaks.

Good procedural works, and works well, mostly because of the proper architecting of the problem space. OO isn't bringing anything special to the table here. Good devs write good code. Bad devs write bad code. And when management decides what language stack to use, it is primarily about who the cheapest developers are, and not about how effective the stack is.
