The performance issues don't stop at sluggish response times. During these standard use cases, my iPad frequently overheated, making it uncomfortable to hold and raising concerns about potential long-term hardware damage

Examples of wasted potential:

Sarah: Built a fusion reactor at 16. Now? Debugging fintech payment systems.

James: 3D-printed prosthetic limbs for A-levels. Today? Writing credit risk reports.

Alex: Developed AI drone swarms for disaster relief at 18. Graduated with top honours from Imperial. His job? Tweaking a single button's ergonomics on home appliances.

These aren't outliers. They're a generation of engineering prodigies whose talents are being squandered.

This isn't just wage disparity. It's misallocation of human capital on a national scale.

The concern is that these organisms would evade both the immune systems of all natural life forms, and any human defences such as antibiotics, thus posing an existential risk to life

"let it crash". The core idea behind it has to do with the fact that modern applications have a huge number of states that they can find themselves in. The more complex your application is, the more variables you need to keep track of everything. Eventually it becomes impossible for developers to predict all combinations of state that these variables will form. Once your app gets into an undesirable state, the best thing you can do is to reset it and start from a fresh, well known and correct state
