See normally when an algorithm requires The Entire Global Supply Of Ram, a software engineer would consider that not a good algorithm, and would try and make a better one instead of optimising the entire planet for paperclip manufacturing.
Unfortunately we accidentally gave a bad software engineer too much money

I feel better and worse that it was hard to figure out because it was actually like six different bugs with similar symptoms (and a similar root cause, I just made the same mistake in a bunch of places)
this thought brought to you by strict mode doing its job and fucking my state up, lol
I've been banging my head against it for a couple of days, trying to figure out what I did wrong in this component. finally occurred to me to just reread the docs that explain what strict mode does, why, and how to fix the bugs it exposes.
I'm relieved that my mistake isn't quite basic enough to be in there verbatim, but I have a much clearer idea of where to look now
I am frequently impressed by React's official docs, but today's reason is: I just realized they're good *intermediate* docs. there's usually a huge void in software docs between "newbie setup" and "special advanced topics"! but React has a bunch of clearly written explanations along the lines of "shit you're still getting wrong when you know just enough to be dangerous" and it's such a breath of fresh air.
there are legitimate uses for llms. but if you're benefiting from a data center that reduces human access to drinking water, your prompt had better be accomplishing something more valuable for the world than giving humans access to drinking water

what an incredible con. steal our data, hide the originals, and sell it back to us
