This is such a great response. It leaves me wishing I could delete my comment. A.I. told me there was a 2020 match between Lakers and Globetrotters which the Lakers won. Turns out it was a fictional match. I've had great success with mob programming so that's where my brain was at.
hahaha that makes so much more sense. kinda takes the bite out of that rant, but i already knew it was silly after word number… 600? but i was already on a heater and felt i had no choice but to continue lol. no, never delete! you can hold your head up high, knowing that at least you’re not the loser who spent the better part of 45 minutes copy-editing a 800 word semi-unhinged— and possibly not semi- — “possibly” — rant just to make fun of someone on the internet for no reason whatsoever. i guess the OP awakened my own inner feelings about “collaboration”, as someone who does genuinely very highly value collaboration, and do view it as a skill that does genuinely require a lot of practice. :)
