    That comment sounds pretty benign to me. I also don't know why you're assuming the original commenter is male. The only person in the wrong here is you, and you're wrong twice over…

    And where, exactly, did this commenter say that vibe coders are "stupid and one dimensional"? Stop putting words in people's mouths.

    I would suggest reading this blog post from Meta, which should resolve your concerns: https://engineering.fb.com/2024/01/18/developer-tools/lazy-i... Regarding risks in practice: >…

    This is already addressed in my comment above.

    That’s not what I said. Nobody is “entitled” or “not entitled” to hold certain opinions. Please reread my original comment carefully.

    The issue is that some imports can be made lazy and some cannot. A binaristic all-or-nothing approach does not address the issue. (I also think that there is zero basis to claim th…

    No, the point is that most people in this thread do not appreciate the complexity of implementing lazy imports. If you disagree, your energy is better spent talking to a CPython co…

    I also hope this proposal succeeds, but I'm not optimistic. This will break tons of code and introduce a slew of footguns. Import statements fundamentally have side effects, and wh…

    > Using `importlib` is a horrible hack that breaks basically all tooling. You very very obviously are not supposed to do that. This is an assertion that has absolutely no reasoning…

    Perhaps I'm not aware of the intricacies of Zig or AWS Lambda, but what is this library supposed to provide? It is well known that services written in two different languages can c…

    I can think of at least a dozen explanations less charitable than this one. Taking their word exactly at face value is not “something in the middle”.

    That's a lot of buzzwords to say that you enjoy shoving everything in one function. :)

    Thanks for posting. I like the concept but ran into several showstopping bugs. I clicked on the "Start Interview" button and received a "No response from Gemini" error. When I exit…
