With software engineering, every single thing in the 2010s had "syntactic sugar" and "sane defaults". I still get a slight blood pressure spike whenever someone uses either of those terms.

I guess those are overused but at least they have some meaning. "Unreasonable Effectiveness..." is essentially pure meaninglessness.

Fine. "The unreasonable effectiveness of syntactic sugar considered harmful: all you need is sane defaults."
Now, in comparison, nothing in this thread is going to annoy you!
