All of the things you described ARE "it". They're part of the Disney Parks "product". If they were to remove or change that active effort, that could be considered "ruining it". But continuing to operate in a way they've found delights their customers is exactly what Seth is arguing for, not a violation of it.

They didn't just drop cache. They elided thinking blocks even if you recache. That permanently degraded the model output for the rest of the session, even ignoring the bug, if you waited 60 minutes instead of 59.

Flake8 and Black would never have matched the performance of a Rust-based tool, even if they had 10 years of dedicated focus.

Why would the replacement name you suggested be better than the actual name?

You can play Pokémon Red but not save your game, because the batteries inside the game cartridge are dead.

I've had this as well. When I'm really tired, I can wake up then fall asleep and resume my dream.

This is a good thing to do, but not really the point of the article.

Why include mypy at all? Pyright is amazing and all you need.

Have you tried Pyright? It made me actually enjoy Python development.

Which terms are you referring to? If you aren't familiar with "CI/CD", then this article really isn't for you, as you haven't run into the problems this startup is trying to solve.

I'm just as upset as the next guy, but it's a bit silly to presume that he knew how bad this would be. If that were the case, even if he were a greedy, evil, selfish bastard, he wouldn't have rolled out the feature because he would understand the backlash.
If it has cycles of 50 or less only, then they're guaranteed to find their own name (they start the cycle on the box corresponding to themselves, so that cycle must contain them). Incidentally, the "first prisoner" might as well be every prisoner, because they aren't allowed to observe each other, communicate, or modify the room.
If you have a red dot, you only know that there is at least 1 red dot, and you don't know if that one person knows "not all dots are blue". Hence, it's new information when that person doesn't commit suicide.
