How many rounds of code review is it polite to stop at? πŸ€”

I keep finding more to comment every time I go back, but maybe that's because I didn't take enough time the first time I reviewed it

AI image generation of an android at an interview. It shows a stock image that's got the faces all wrong and the Android just stuck on the wall in the background - it looks absurd. AI image generation of an android at an interview. It shows a green Android that's been made really skinny sitting at a desk in an awkward pose - it looks absurd. AI image generation of an android at an interview. It shows a cartoon android floating in the air whilst below them what at first glance appear to be androids are sitting at a desk, at second glance it is "amoung us" characters - it is absurd. AI image generation of an android at an interview. It shows a a row of Androids sitting at desks, appearing to take an exam in school but all the laptops on the desks are mangled messes - it is absurd.

Not all AI image generation tools are made equal...

~7% of compatible devices didn't get the UK emergency alert
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65391455

7% is roughly less than 1 in 10 ppl

Anecdotally I haven't been told by *any* friends that they got the alert! (Yes I have over 10)

Somebody's fudging the numbers in prod to save their a$$ πŸ˜‚
