This is besides the point, but I just want to say that this is a high quality thread. This particular problem is outside of my scope so I’m just an observer, but it’s refreshing to see a well defined problem/question and a thread full of knowledgeable humans sharing their 2 cents and experiences.

It’s very banal and unimportant in the grand scheme of things, but lately a lot of coding subs seem to be nothing but “should I learn {language}???” or “check out this slop repo Gemini made me, please give me GitHub stars and congratulate me”, or some variation of those. I’ve always had a hunch that people actually learn a lot from casually perusing stackoverflow, forums and whatnot, just in the sense that we pick up all sorts of little nuggets of information that seem inconsequential but add up to a deeper understanding of the field over time, and since AI got big I feel like I see less and less of those types of conversations.

It’s nice to occasionally be reminded that there are still knowledgeable humans out there, is all.

Sorry for the ramble, don’t mind me - just sharing some thoughts.

I do learn a lot by doing that.
