The intent I got was the idea of all the GPU instruction sets being different is notable, and perhaps unexpected and at the least challenging. The latter being an exclamation in the context of reverse engineering makes some degree of sense to communicate the fundamental difficulty inherent in this effort.

Now, we could go back and forth a few more times, invite friends and curious others to the party and end up with many different takes on this text.

What's the takeaway?

For me, it's lack of judgement. Content is king. I want to know what others mean to say and how they feel about it. I don't want to judge them on those things because what exactly is the point?

Make things better for me?

...better for people like me?

...people in general? Doubt that given the diversity of takes the experiment above would generate.

Waste of time. That's the takeaway.

And to press that idea home somewhat more, when I talk to other people, not text, but talking, I find diversity beautiful. Some are stoic. Some are bitter, jaded well worn solders. Others are excitable. Funny? Yup.

I submit you cost yourself more wondering why they don't conform than ever getting the answer is worth. Further, taking their intent in a more liberal, forgiving sense will get you to the good stuff others intend to share more quickly and efficiently. Plus, you might laugh a little.

I do. And it's enjoyable.

When I read the piece, I enjoyed feeling a bit of the joy, excitement, frustrations experienced by the authors and that amplified the good in all of it a little. Great! They did have one heck of an adventure after all.

Finally, you mention women overusing exclamation points. Maybe they are just being women? Just putting that out there.

I am pretty sure if we were to take a poll of those of us who are women as to whether being one is OK would trend to a definitive yes. The ones I know well tend to have a lot of fun and more colorful, rich relationships too. Kind of envy that personally.

I think it is OK to be a woman. After all, being a guy, I tend to be a guy. Why would women play it any differently?

Thoughts for you to consider.

Cheers! <-- Exclamation intended to convey a general upbeat mood, hoping it's catchy.
