Records and Tuples were scrapped, but as this is JavaScript, there is a user-land implementation available here: https://github.com/seanmorris/libtuple

Well, I'm also English and I didn't read them that way. However, I do think that Paul is telling people that competing with Sam in certain domains would be extraordinarily difficult.

The other thing is that if you take a look at Paul Graham's blog posts, he used to regularly thank Sam at the bottom of these -- this isn't something you do if you don't like or respect someone. However, on the other hand, perhaps they fell out at some point? I can't personally make out that signal from the little data there is.

Really? It seems like a glowing appraisal. He seems to think that Sam is devestatingly effective at what he does.

If Paul Graham fired Sam Altman from YCombinator it's interesting that he appears to have such a favourable opinion of him [0].

However, personally, what I've taken away from this is that he is a much better strategic/tactical operator than many other high-flying executives and very capable of winning the respect and trust of a lot of smart people. I wouldn't expect OpenAI to be run by anybody that wasn't revered in this way; a lot of CEOs aren't saints.

"How would you feel about extracting this into a separate function? It might be better because the logic seems quite self-contained, and we can then apply the extra business logic immediately after this with a few if-elses."

I try to give critiques in this way, as it gives the person that wrote the code ample opportunity to defend their approach, but also gives explanation of why your suggestion might be better.
