One can certainly hope so.

One Furby codes and a second one reviews...

Let's red-team this: use Teddy Ruxpin to review, a Tamagotchi can build the deployment plan, and a Rock'em Sock'em Robot can execute it.

This is such a good idea, the ultimate solution is connecting the furbies to CI.

Yes, but given who was running DOGE it was never going to work.

Good luck with that. Every supermarket I've been in has those stupid baskets or racks of stuff blocking the aisle and their data must show that it gets people to buy a little more of that stuff even though it makes me quite resolved to never buy the shit they're forcing me to look at in order to go get the five things I really need.

Don't forget figuring out a way to tie overhead bin space to assigned seats to keep "overhead bin pirates" from storing their carryons in the front of the plane when their seats are in the back...

I guess I’m one of your pirates. Especially when I notice that most of the bins are closed near the back, where my seat usually is, I’ll use the first open space that I see. Bonus is that I don’t have to maneuver my suitcase as far. Drawback is that I have to keep an eye on things during deboarding: once I had to chase down some idiot who exited the plane with my bag. Why do you believe that people are supposed to use the bins next to their seats?

Well, for one thing, on many planes the space above FC and whatever their premium economy class is called is specifically labeled for use of passengers seated in those areas. For another, it's just common courtesy. I get if you are boarding late and there are only a few available bins but in my experience the bins at the back fill last not first, so you really should have no problem storing your bag near your seat.

No.

Less is more, usually.

>I think it is a mix of fomo and the 'upside' potential of being able to minimize ( ideally remove ) the expensive "human component". Note, I am merely trying to portray a specific world model.

IOW, it's a case of C-suite "monkey see, monkey do" kicked off by management consultants with crap to sell for very high prices...

It is a good thing in some cases for a couple of reasons - first, off the shelf libraries often do a lot more things than are needed for the project at hand which can have the same effect that adding extra lanes to a highway does on traffic - more effort in the same space that could have been avoided. Second, OTS libraries can be opinionated, which winds up bending the existing codebase in ways that aren't optimal or aligned with the other code in a given ecosystem.
