Would you actually rather die? That seems likely to be an exaggeration but I don't know you.

What's the retcon in the hobbit?

I can only sit on some toilets. Others are OK. Depth and curve of the bowl front.

I have never touched the water. And my balls have never been a problem here...

Right but whilst the thing is easier with better tools, and indeed the process has changed, to me 'automation' of a task refers to its process being reduced to, at best, a daily 30s review. Tools are... Ways of optimising and changing a process. Automation obviates them. It's a personally lexical stand, you can sanely differ.

So when you hit assembly line I was with you. "That* is automation

Well... Automation usually describes process automation and you've just listed tools. So yeah, I agree, people don't think of them as automation. Because, colloquially, they're not.

In that case, stil reckon a higher proportion ofl Rust devs contribute to Linux than C devs

What's a rust programmer? Someone who's ever written anything in it? If the same holds true for C, probably a higher percentage than of 'C programmers' given how long that's been a teaching language lol

You sound like you're talking about application run performance. That shouldn't be noticeably different. Startup and application load time tend to be where the gains are.

The brightly coloured poisonous creatures aren't the problem, it's the dull brown ones...

I mean, that's true, but I'd prefer one of those big ol' mushrooms. Why emulate one thing when you can have a great real thing? Fried potatoes/bubble'n'squeak/hashbrowns I'd go for though
