Thank you! Kind of nuts they posted this with that title but no explanation.


"Normal" keeps getting more and more depressing.

Did they think that image would make them look fun or interesting? Because it's exactly the opposite.


These AI illustrations are the nee "corporate Memphis." Images of flat, minimalist people in bold colors used to be the sign that whatever text accompanied them was low-value drivel. Nowadays, I associate the same with AI generated imagery. I'm not sure why the folks doing the writing (if, indeed, any of the writing was done by a human) don't seem to clock this when the audience seems to be able to catch on almost immediately.


Pedantic as hell but `"100" * 2` in Python (= `"100100"` for those who don't know) isn't really typing, it's operator overloading. Any language with that could implement the same questionable design decision.


And as much as I love Python, being able to multiple a string by an integer doesn't make sense when adding an integer to a string is a TypeError.

Being able to repeat a string is fine, but it should be a str.repeat() function, not an operator overload like that.
