...stopped existing, how bummed would you be? If you don't care about it existing, let alone thriving, then you are not acting like an owner. You are "outside," and feedback is more likely to tear it down vs strengthen it up.
...es is emergent. Tons of things that didn't even make sense to enumerate before (let alone build or ship) because they were obviously underwater, that all light up.

...you're chickenshit, you capitulate to avoid the mere possibility of discomfort, let alone something resembling real risk."
Code is a language. An exceedingly unforgiving language, hard to learn to read, let alone write. But if you have the patience to master it, you can pass it to machines that can then do your bidding, mechanistically. Previously only a very ...
... Also, when you share one, certain trade offs become impossible to acknowledge, let alone make consciously. The constraint creates coherence, it gives the terra firma to build off of. Otherwise there's too many free dimensions, nothing can...

...und inversion; something that flipped that you didn't even realize was a thing, let alone a thing that could be flipped. The aha moment is adjacent to humor. They are both the creative work, the delightful swoosh of intentional figure grou...
...ase would quickly descend into a combinatorial quagmire, impossible to maintain let alone extend. If you had only architects, the system would never add new functionality. Codeslingers make excellent prototypers. But beware relying on thei...

...nces we have for travel are subtle and hard to explain to a human we know well, let alone a machine. And because the downside cost is so high.
