That last sentence struck a chord. It's crazy being in the most violent event of your life, and then it gets more intense, like it dropped a gear and floored it.
10/10 would recommend experiencing a massive quake, if it were not for the small matter of widespread destruction in your city. Of course several months and 10000 aftershocks later, they're not as much fun.
If it can't manage one small fact on something that was covered quite a bit in the previous month, then it is worse than useless. At the very least it should say I don't know. It reminds me of that one guy we all know that does nothing but make stuff up when talking about stuff outside of their wheel house. Never backs down, never learns anything, and ultimately dumped from the relationship.
I'm willing to bet there are kids who do not though. Given how many crazy colours my IDE shows everything in, I could definitely believe there are people that go, 'Why bother, aren't those private members blue anyway?', or some such similar train of thought.
Of course if your IDE is little more than notepad, then such things are still important. For me, that's the Arduino IDE. I have to admit I really like writing micro controller code in it, it's a bit like writing code 30 years ago (both the good and bad parts).
