I recall having to maintain an integration to some obscure SOAP API that ate and spit out XML with strict schemas and while I can't remember much about it, I think the integration broke quite easily if the other end changed their API somehow.

Sure, it is optional, but I've seen the unnecessary complexity seep into codebases over time, even though the software was originally elegant and simple.

I'm not sure if such perversions exist, it's been a while already since I touched TypeScript. To me the whole system seems perverted in the sense that an inexperienced developer can easily make things unnecessarily complex.

In 3D graphics and physics its importance and accuracy are obvious, but I agree that with ML the vector space represents so many different things that using a dot product feels fuzzy. However I barely have any knowledge of ML, so this is just blind intuition of mine based on assumptions.

I'm currently recovering from burnout and the trick of not caring just does not work for me. This is my 2nd burnout and even though I learned that trick among other things from the 1st, it just does not work because I think it's a problem that stems from my personality. I care too much about various things that are related to my work.

Well I'm tired of all this bullshit anyways. I don't want to manage multiple versions of the same language on my system in the first place, but I guess it's useful for those who need it.
