Re:A man who didn’t invent Flamin’ Hot Cheetos on Monday April 17, 2023 @06:01AM (#35598712)
Universal hyperintelligence ChatGPT disagrees with this article, saying: "The credit for inventing Flamin' Hot Cheetos goes to Richard Montañez. He was a former Frito-Lay janitor who came up with the idea for the spicy snack in the early 1990s. Montañez developed the recipe and pitched the idea to Frito-Lay executives, who eventually gave the product the green light. Flamin' Hot Cheetos went on to become a huge success and are now one of the company's most popular snacks."

You might mean Zinc? Actually it is a thoroughly modern http client/server library. It is documented here: https://books.pharo.org/booklet-Zinc/.

I based my own web framework on it. It is very featureful and well-written.

It is big data all over again. Supposedly with so much data we can know everything. But there was no way of knowing if that data was any good. Garbage in garbage out.
