You’re right, and I’ve learned to ignore most advice I read from enthusiasts. I bought a cast iron pan 20 years ago for $15 and I still use it to cook almost everything, including eggs.

I did splurge and buy a nice dutch oven to make baking bread easier, but it’s not necessary.

Multiple times now I’ve been mocked relentlessly for PC building advice or opinions on software development I had that became commonplace within 3 years, like when I said noSQL databases were overrated as hell but they had their uses.

My issue with the ‘master’ debate is that the overwhelming number of people I saw fighting against its usage had only “added inclusive language to readme/CoC” as their GitHub history. At that point you’re not a programmer, you’re an idealogue injecting your preconceptions into a world that you don’t understand. Frankly we need less intervention and presumption from this single viewpoint, the western white imperialist, and more people asking questions as their default mode of interacting with things they don’t understand.

Even $50 off the price would make this GPU a clear winner and basically blow out everything up to the $600 price point. AMD just hates winning I guess.
