Iâ(TM)m aware of long-lived companies who got advised to: sell off then lease back their real estate, reduce cash on hand myriad ways, changing buying habits (so inventory value on the books plunges), etc. Literally, theyâ(TM)ve been coached to eliminate every bit of those decades of reserves.

When a bad thing happens, the company dies.

Hold on, did a journalist make Musk do a seig heil?

A news reporter took over Musk's twitter and called a rescue worker a pedo?

It was totally CNN that forced Musk to mockingly run around with a chainsaw as he was cutting off the livelihoods of countless people!

Done more to? Maybe

His entire empire is based of of exploitation of inequality of economic power in the most extreme ways.

U.S. median household income is about $84k. Typical personal savings rate is 4% of income. Modern capitalism regularly wipes out gains entirely every decade or two, so we'll ignore interest for the sake of simplicity. So, the typical American household would save about $3.3k a year. It would take roughly 66 million years to reach Jeff Bezos’s net worth.

So yeah, some people will use billionaire as a "snarl word".

Why are you out here trying to do Bezos' PR for free? He's not going to pick you.

I can and do agree with you 100% on the rest, but this made me LoL. Enterprise code being documented is a unicorn.

Frankly, Iâ(TM)ve thought about seeing what caliber of docs come out of handing some AI a codebase. Even if itâ(TM)s half-wrong, itâ(TM)d beat the nuthinâ(TM) I usually get.

Comment Markdown and YAML (Score 2) 60

Markdown and YAML are definitely spiritual cousins.

* Simple
* Human-first editing
* Whitespace-significant / Diff-friendly
* Low-ceremony / Huffman-coded

Markdown of course is for freeform idea and narrative capture, whereas YAML is data.

But, they both share the opinion that XML/HTML are cursed for the most common use cases, and they're both mostly right on that account.
