    Is the more likely scenario that you just had the seasonal Flu, or that there is a non detectable covid variant?

    You're missing the point the article is making. If people choose not to take the vaccine, why stop them from going out and getting infected? They have informed consent on the dange…

    Do the people you weed out that suggest using a library know that the purpose of the question is to walk through how to code something?

    It's interesting, but I hate to think this might have been the response to a junior developer's suggestion to clean up unused functions in a code base.
