Assuming that everyone you meet is conspiring against you seems to be a pre-requisite to these. The feasibility of that is questionable.

I used to value this sort of communication. Sometimes I still do. Some feedback I got once that seems relevant to anyone who prefers this style:

----

Key takeways:

1. People are more important than code.

2. People have a right to work in an environment free of perceived hostility.

3. There is a legitimate reason for the perception and hard work may be necessary to understand why this is.

Ask yourself these questions periodically during a conversation:

1. Am I listening to the other person?

2. Is there an equal amount of give and take or is my primary objective to make someone understand my point of view?

3. Does the person want to understand what I am saying?

Like the other poster said, the rabbit hole continues with suffix arrays (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffix_array#Space_efficiency), then compressed suffix arrays (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_suffix_array).

Also explained by the creator of this: https://www.abahgat.com/project/suffix-tree/

> the human genome can be encoded as a 3GB string constructed out of an alphabet of four characters

> As of 2019, a suffix tree indexing the human genome using state of the art algorithms can easily occupy tens of gigabytes.
