An optimal algorithm that solves the normie's problem by completely ignoring it.

I.E. "you're holding it wrong"

Would you offer this solution to a 13-year-old using GitHub for a school project? Or a 60-year-old trying to keep up with tech? Or a busy parent trying to catch up on things after a long day?

This utter lack of empathy saddens me.

Your incorrect assumption based on what I wrote and low expectations of others saddens me.

The comment speaks for itself: "I think he approaches it the wrong way," and the only problem is the ambiguous 6/9.

If there's something else you intended to say, I'd love to see a clarification.
