    Gaming has continually pushed the boundaries of computing. And after seeing innovations like Nanite in Unreal Engine 5, it doesn’t seem to be stopping.

    My expectation is that if I didn’t have to talk to a real person to sign up, I shouldn’t have to talk to a real person to cancel. Any website that breaks this is practicing the dark arts.

    Patches that work on the AST rather than line by lineβ€” could be even more compressed as a representation and would make automated codemods/formatters have much better diffs. Also, a better version of submodules and/or monorepos.
