As a data engineer, testing with production loads is critical to performance checking, as well as finding edge cases where your assumptions about what can be expected in the data are curb stomped and send you back to the drawing board to cry and think about what you’ve done.
I’m surprised you haven’t thought to complete your deep dish pizza by putting some canned onion rings on top.
Yeah, but he is also very drunk and uninhibited by that point because his boss keeps pushing scotches on him. He also goes to save his life without hesitation too. So not great, but again, could have been much worse.
Edit: I just thought about it and, if I remember correctly, he is not present when Stu orders and says he’s very allergic. They decide to order while waiting for Mrs. Doubtfire who had been “in the bathroom” for a long time. So he didn’t know Stu was allergic. Daniel just hears the cook call out the “non-spicy” dish for their table in the kitchen and then adds cayenne to it to fuck with him. Petty for sure, but he didn’t intend to seriously hurt the guy.
Ok, so devil’s advocate here. What Robin’s character, Daniel, does in the movie is rash, immature and a bit creepy. But that is the point. He is rash and immature at the beginning of the film. It’s why they get divorced in the first place. He’s a manchild and would rather be the fun dad than a responsible dad and makes his wife have to compensate for him and be the full time disciplinarian, maid, and bread winner. What redeems him is the growth he shows by the end. In pretending to be Mrs. Doubtfire, he becomes a more mature, responsible adult. Not just with how he interacts with the kids, but also in caring for his apartment, doing a job even when it sucks, advancing his career, etc. Obviously he doesn’t mature to the point that he reveals his deceit and apologizes for it of his own volition. But he does end up in a place where he and Miranda can amicably co-parent even as they remain separated, which is a long way from where they started.
And, in regard to the creepiness, let’s acknowledge that it could easily have been much worse. For example, he doesn’t creep on, hit on, or do anything sexually untoward to his ex-wife, Miranda, after their divorce, something I would not have been shocked to see in an early 90s comedy movie. I know that’s not a high bar, but let’s be real about the common brand of humor from films of the time. His primary crimes are, of course, misrepresentating/disguising his identity to fraudulently get a job nannying his kids, sabotaging Miranda’s ad in order to get that job, and being real low-key petty towards the new boyfriend and mildly tormenting him (the incident with the near chocking was not cool, but clearly accidental.) I personally don’t find those things, in the context of a comedy film, to be so heinous as to render the movie disgusting, appalling or without the ability to enjoy the humor. But that’s me. To each their own.
Better yet… fuck off entirely?
“America will not abide Nazism.”
“Sorry. I have to return some video tapes” gets said constantly by American Psycho fans.
Same. Early on as a new dev, I failed to performance check my script (as did my qa tester) before it was released to production, and that was my first roll back ever. It was very unoptimized and incredibly slow under one of our highest density data streams. Felt like an idiot that I was good with it’s 1-2 second execution time in the dev environment.
