I remember it took me literal days to figure out the “umount” command doesn’t have the letter “n” in it

I kept reading online about people saying “use umount” and every time I tried, it said “unmount: command not found”

I felt so stupid when I figured it out

And then I thought, no, it is not me who is stupid, it is whoever named that fucking command and deleted a random letter from the middle of it

Inclusive language tips:
Instead of "Hey guys", say "Hey folks" or "Folks".
Instead of "manpower" say "staff".

Concision, precision, and inclusion.

So the thing about LLVM IR is, in reality it's a family of accidental and informally defined dialects. Every LLVM-based compiler for a particular machine target refines the input module down to its own idiosyncratic dialect.

Consequently there's way more latitude for confusion and bugs than you'd initially guess.

Try using an i65 type in an x86 backend. When I did that years ago it sailed right through and generated nonsense code.
