I kind of agree with them, in this case both parties essentially settled it between for PR reasons, but what if the attacked party actually was damaged. This is as if two friends got into a car accident and decided to not get police involved, the one who caused the accident should definitely get punished either way. Goal is to prevent future "accidents" with the punishment not to punish for punishing sake.

Agreed, arcane cmake configs and or bash build scripts are genuinely off-putting. Also cpp "equivalents" of cargo which afaik are conan and vcpkg are not default and required much more configuring in comparison with cargo. Atleast this was my experience few years ago.

Not sure, but one example I can think of is gov bailout, if the gov just prints the money and the asset becomes worthless.

Perhaps they would, but I would guess that you would still get scared when hearing the warning instead of the shock it self.

For example if you would get stabbed 15 seconds after hearing a beep I think you would develop pavlovian like response to the beep itself.
