March 2023 they sold 20M Quests. Half as many as PS5. That counts as “taken off” in my book.

Very amusing. I still know barely anything about him, but I’m thoroughly convinced.

I would guess they implement the check against the response, not the query.

One week in NL and I’m wondering what we’re even doing over here.

Building abstractions and tools to reduce busy-work has been the goal of computer science since the moment we created assembly. The difficulty lies in finding methods that provide enough value for enough use-cases to outweigh the cost of learning, documenting, and maintaining them. Finding a solution that works for your narrow use-case is easy - every overly eager junior has done it. However, building solutions that truly advance CS takes time, effort, and many, many failures. I don’t mean to discourage you, but always be aware of the cost of your abstraction. Sometimes, the busy work is actually better.
