That has to be one of the most cursed functions that I've heard of in my life. Anything less than a call to ChatGPT is doomed to fail.

It is a solved problem with tools that help to do it right, but nobody does it right. People wrote that cursed function for every language long time ago, but you as a developer need to know it exists and use it

yeah, I mean `toUpper(string)` exists in basically every language and it's equally cursed. it's nothing even slightly new, just another sigh-inducer when you see people using it.
