“To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” especially not to LLMs that hollow out the very communities that they serve. Like Wario and Misanthropic and that little bitch Claude, which their cult believes has a ‘soul’. https://blog.codinghorror.com/farewell-stack-exchange/

Farewell Stack Exchange

I am no longer a part of Stack Exchange. I still have much literal and figurative stock in the success of Stack Exchange, of course, but as of March 1st I will no longer be part of the day to day operations of the company, or the Stack Exchange sites,

In fact, the people who do love you are precisely the ones who will tell you when you're doing it wrong. Everyone else either doesn't care about you at all, or has already written you off as a total loss. You want love? Put in the effort. That's love.

ok I added Dragula. I am very happy with this sequence now:

Cowboys from Hell
Into the Pit
Bulls on Parade
Ace of Spades
Caught in a Mosh
Hangar 18
Bodies
Dragula
War Ensemble
Painkiller
Master of Puppets
Raining Blood

I got this so far

Metallica — Master of Puppets
Slayer — War Ensemble
Sepultura — Arise
Megadeth — Hangar 18
Pantera — Cowboys from Hell
Anthrax — Caught in a Mosh
Drowning Pool — Bodies

instant authority - sustained attack - huge combat momentum - gets right to the anger
