My grandmom was a programmer on a university mainframe in the 50s and learned haskell in her 90s


Great. 99.999999999% grandmothers weren't.


And let face it, 99.999999999% of the pedantic privacy-performative Hackernews posters will also browse the web exclusively in Chrome while logged in to Youtube (and Facebook and Twitter and and and)...


Well if that's the standard, it's also true that 99.999999999% of people haven't programmed mainframes in the 50s and learned haskell in the 90s, so to avoid redundancy we can just say people instead of parents and grandparents.


My grandma programmed an arduino with stepper motors to change her Depends adult diapers. It does not yet auto-detect wet diapers but that’s next on the road map.
