disagree on the junior dev part and on the god part.
what you’re describing is called “simulation theory” and it has been proposed and discussed at length
i think lazy evaluation makes sense in that context. i also think that having a few basic rules and after that applying them consistently across your simulation space make sense. if your basic space unit of reality is way smaller than the sims in it can perceive and measure they’re gonna start making stuff up

Good lord, some people here are definitely on the spectrum. FYI that was an attempt at humor. In case you want to mimic human social behavior in the future: you don't _disagree_ with a joke, you either find it funny or you don't.

I'm aware of the theory, just like everyone else whose seen the matrix or read Elon's Twitter feed. For the record, I was merely illustrating a point; both our universe and the code we write share certain optimizations that would seem to be too coincidental to be random.

Maybe he was disagreeing with your entire assesment and that your joke was neither funny or unfunny, but incorrect
> god is a junior dev and no one reviewed his pull requests.
> some people here are definitely on the spectrum. FYI that was an attempt at humor. In case you want to mimic human social behavior in the future ..
_Your_ failed attempt at humour doesn't justify labeling and gaslighting the person who didn't "get it", if anyone can ever consider that to be a joke.
> For the record, I was merely illustrating a point
Illustrating a point or making a joke? In either case, it doesn't justify your "human social behavior" of attacking the personality traits of the person disagreeing with you. My suggestion to you -in the future- accept that someone can have a different opinion and that you could be wrong and try to counteract that without resorting to labeling and gaslighting.
Being patronizing immediately after suggesting people here are on the autism spectrum is kind of insensitive to people who are autistic.
"God is a junior dev", is a mildly funny trope that has existed as long as I've been on the internet. I believe there's an xkcd about it where God says "we hacked most of it together with Perl".
Anyway, it's hard to tell what is and isn't a joke on the internet due to lack of vocal inflection. Maybe consider going easier on people when this happens in the future.
