You can by overriding the method on apple or banana. If your method is on some other object, then yes, you cannot do this unless your programming language supports multiple dispatch.
It's both hilarious and sad to see a bunch of 30-40 year old open source devs with mentalities comparable to Reddit moderators collectively bullying a 20(?) year old slightly immature dude.
> Another example, if there’s some repetitive task that you automate at a software dev job, would you get rewarded for figuring out how to automate it? The answer is obviously dependent on culture, at my current gig you just get brushed off
The only reward I need for automating a tedious task is my own sanity.
One thing that I have observed is that for a leftist, human nature is truly a puzzling affair. After all for him, all is relative. All aspects of human society, culture, morals are but a cage some other powerful humans have erected over us. It's like living in the Matrix, all these silly sheeple blindly following what THEY pretend is normal and they don't even question it!
