Correct. The average person will not do things like this for two reasons. 1. They don't think about tool making, they think about tool using. 2. Making tools is a detail oriented process that most people don't have the patience for. That's why there are programmers in the first place. We revel in those details.

Genocide is the intentional killing of non-combatant civilians in an attempt to reduce or eliminate the numbers of a particular race, nation, or ideology. Hamas is genocidal, their charter demands the destruction of Israel. (They watered it down recently, but their intent is still clear) October 7th was an act of Genocide since it was motivated by Hamas' chartered intention and was indiscriminate in the brutality and targeting of the killings. Hamas must be stopped. Iran supplied weapons and training and financial support for Hamas, a clearly genocidal organization. Iran also regularly proclaims "Death to Israel. Death to America". Iran has genocidal intent. Iran, and its proxies, must be stopped. Israel concluded that they must stop Hamas. Hamas hides behind civilians. This makes Hamas doubly genocidal since the more civilians that are killed the happier they seem to be. Israel send leaflets, texts, phone calls to warn the population. They sent tons of food and supplies to support the population. They set aside refuges for the population. Genocidal nations don't do that. Yes, a lot of Palestinians were killed in the fighting. Terrible. 20,000+ Germans were killed in the Dresden fire bombing. Awful. 100,000+ Japanese were killed in the Tokyo firebombing. ~210,000 Japanese will killed by the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. None of those actions were genocidal. The attackers had no genocidal intent. Their goal was to stop their enemies from further attacks. There are "experts" for everything. The UN is full of "experts". But any "expert" that claims that Israel is committing a genocide is either horrifyingly ignorant or selling something evil.

My father was born into money. His father was the treasurer of a major steel company. My father had an inheritance of stock that paid dividends that should have sustained him for his life and beyond. But the American steel industry collapsed in the 60s and the dividends ended. He was a junior high school science teacher and had no way to support his home and family. So my mother went to work. Even that wasn't enough. So my father borrowed against his life insurance. He died at 50 with few assets. My inheritance was $1,500, and a good strong work ethic. My father's remaining capital, if that's what you want to call it, was little benefit to me. But that work ethic was. So the next time you want to bet about what "this guy" will answer, you might want to politely ask instead of sneering.
