I think about this post from last year a lot:
Navok noted that if a game costs $100 million to make over five years, it has to beat what the company could have returned investing a similar amount in the stock market over the same period.
You said it’s not runtime type checking but then switched to “strict type checking” - those aren’t the same. Other person has it right, it has runtime type checking. The type checking happens when running your code. I don’t think that’s particularly useful, it’s pretty much sugar on top of what would throw an error anyway.
I started running out of ideas and gave up here:
pressure 🤜 bung 🤜 leak 🤜 air pump 🤜 vaccuum 🤜 wind 🤜 boulder 🤜 pry bar 🤜 manhole cover 🤜 hole 🤜 insulation 🤜 heat 🤜 plastic 🤜 erosion 🤜 dam 🤜 water 🤜 fire 🤜 boat 🤜 bridge 🤜 moat 🤜 boiling oil 🤜 ladder 🤜 wall 🤜 cavalry 🤜 bow 🤜 spear 🤜 pickaxe 🤜 rock
Were they like those tiny pizzas from that Nathan For You episode?
What makes it make even less sense is imagine they could magically somehow have invested instead of creating something. Fast forward a few cycles of businesses swapping over from not beating the average and instead of actually creating anything, everybody is only investing. Except, none of them are actually creating anything.
