A Microsoft blog post about "vibe working" broke me.

    Trillions of dollars to develop a calculator that’s wrong sometimes.

        No, the user is wrong quite often, the calculator gives the answer to the question asked, not the answer to the question the user wanted to ask.

        Garbage in, garbage out.

        I’ve never seen a calculator being wrong, and I’m genuinely curious what you’re talking about.

          Only when people use the wrong input, garbage in and garbage out.

          In the same vein I can’t think of any instance where excel had calculated things wrong unless there was a fault in the formula that I made.
