Star Control 2 is the one I still come back to every now and then.
"You didn't specify that you wanted to animate live skeletons. I only gave you the ability to magic up some nice animated skeleton drawings."
That seems perfectly reasonable.
What comes to mind when I see this meme is more along the lines of CS DMing devs directly with customer issues and expecting us to magically come up with a solution to something with minimal information given.
Oh? No up/down voting?
Given the "anyone can join in" nature of the fediverse, something like this was inevitable. I expected it to be at least be another couple of years, though.
There is potential good for this- a lot more developer resources going into this technology. And being open source software, there's a lot of ways we can potentially mitigate any damage if we have to. But... there's definitely a lot of ways this can go poorly as well.
Technically? Sure. But it would likely require rewriting a bunch of systems which would be pretty expensive and I don't know why Reddit would want to do that right now.
It's interesting watching all the people here that... this is clearly their first time experiencing this cycle.

Yeah. Reddit was never going to magically die overnight. If it dies, it's going to be a long and slow process. But that process starts with with some number of us jumping ship and focusing on bringing alternatives like Lemmy to life.
Probably good for the earlier puzzles. Some of the later ones can get mind bending.
Stay off reddit. And maybe move out of the apartment...
For my vim journey it was the draw of being able to quickly navigate and manipulate text without ever needing my hands to move away from the home row on the keyboard, and being willing to put in the time and effort to push past the learning curve.
