    I'm having trouble believing an AI did this. I mean, I know it did, and I trust HN to call BS. But ... it's just too perfectly imperfect. You can almost spot the cardboard headwear…

    Oh it is totally passive-aggressive coersion. The notion of "poor performers" is a sign of bad management. They bloat the company to where they can no longer get their billion doll…

    Same here! I started cooking like an adult around age 30, and then really got into it around 35, but didn't feel confident enough to feed large groups until my late 40's. Now I'm i…
