in order to avoid another 20 tweet discussions, im basically saying we are not that far away from some sort of AI that can do what you did, but lets assume that that doesnt happen, why wouldnt we ever be able to store and use ur algo indefinitely for the same problem ever after

or to be more general an improved, maybe more general algo that does what you needed to code for every general case. the work would then not have to be redone by someone else that doesnt have ur algo, but thats currently the standard in programming afaik, that we redo everything

I understand barely a word of that, but why can your utilization of that algorithm not be solved with another algorithm, at least for the most probable occurring filetypes and data manip challenges? my arg is that if we keep solving the most probable problems, and reusing...

ok ok now i understand! so there should easily be an algo capable of working general problems with character removal and non-duplicating entries across multiple common filetypes and suddenly the work you HAD to do doesnt need to be done anymore. more efficiency fewer programmers
