The pirate example would be more accurate if there was a static, critical number of pirates that the world could handle before triggering a global catastrophic event. (I guess maybe that’s technically already true?)

Global temperatures aren’t going to reduce because we’re putting ‘proportionally less’ CO2 into the atmosphere.

I’m hoping even a junior dev has had more than 60 hours of training.

Good deal. Worst case scenario, I get murdered.
