Well in her defense, manually cutting something with an electric saw is probably fairly difficult.

What's so unbelievable? Aside from my son (when he was a teenager), I heard the same story at least 3 or 4 times. The funniest one was when husband and wife were gardening, he with an electric hedge trimmer, she with the shears...

ChatGPT: As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions. The answer to whether the glass is half empty or half full depends on one's perspective and outlook. Some people might see the glass as half empty, indicating a negative or pessimistic outlook, while others might see it as half full, indicating a positive or optimistic outlook. The answer also depends on the actual amount of liquid in the glass and one's interpretation of what constitutes "half."

I had the opposite problem trying to put a short date in Libre Office Calc (spreadsheet). A column with no special formatting, I'm used to typing d/m and letting it turn it into dd/mm/yy. Took me several goes to get 1 Feb in as 1/02/23. Kept morphing into ½.

It could only be one of two words - you were very unlucky with your third go.

I'm not too proud to say it. I pretty much always start with naive implementations of code while I work out how I really want it to be laid out. If you see "clever" code from me, that was never my first pass at it. There's always been a lot of playing around with it beforehand as I refactor and tidy it up.
We need to get better at telling new coders that this is okay. Or perhaps it's not, and I'm just setting a bad example.

I am the same way. Do it quick and dirty to prove or disprove the concept and/or algorithm.
Make sure the code has the opportunity to Fail Fast so I don't waste time on it.
Then clean it up, refactor it, add error handling and comments.
