Funny that you're accusation of snark was not without snark itself. I'll take your word on it for the level of discretion on some public building, though I would have thought/hoped that whimsy would play no more role than a rinsing error. Especially in the current economy. Maybe it's good there is less superfluous building going on?

What is the alternative to buildings? Outdoor schools, factories and dental offices?

> And before anyone accuses me of being some "vibe coder", I've built five nines active-active money rails that move billions of dollars a day at 50kqps+, amongst lots of other hard hitting platform engineering work. Serious senior engineering for over a decade

You sound like a pro wrestler. I'd like to know what "hard-hitting" engineering work is. Hydraulic hammers?

Every time I try to get some handle on the essence of this topic I fail. No different here. In the second paragraph it defines manifolds as "... shapes that look flat to an ant living on them, even though they might have a more complicated global structure"

So manifolds are complicated shapes that are at large enough a scale that an ant (which species?) will think they're flat....ok

So another strategy to do well might include tempting your classmates to distraction or perhaps offering to "help" them but in fact feed them misinformation? Got it.

I was a customer facing employee for a company whose underhanded policies caused me to face a lot of (legitimate) hostility. I eventually quit for this reason, and I know at least one other employee who did. That company lost two otherwise good employees. It works, it's just a question of how much collateral damage you're ok with. If management want to use front facing employees to shelter them from customer grievance, what other target to people have?
