      @jamesthomson Literally did that to me yesterday with SwiftUI (which I only know the basics of).

      Me: How do I do X?

      It: Here’s code to do X!

      Me: Why does it need the Thing in it?

      It: It doesn’t need that, you can remove it!

      Me: 🤦‍♂️

        @jamesthomson so a time-compressed version of what we all do when we look at old code?

          @jamesthomson I had a boss like that. He would tell me what he wanted. I did it and he said “don’t be stupid.” 🤬
