    Speaking of API keys, the free key allows just a little bit of traffic, which is probably just enough for a single user, but not enough for all the Apollo users added together. So, my idea is that what if every user had their own personal key…

      Reddit would likely put a wall up to prevent non-developers from getting keys. I deal with enterprise applications that do that to prevent just that sort of thing. Basically you require developer registeration, and refuse any applicant that doesn’t show they are really a developer.

        I just asked Bing to write some VBA code that adds two numbers together. Here’s the code.

        `Sub AddTwoNumbers() Dim x As Integer Dim y As Integer Dim z As Integer

        x = 1
        y = 1
        z = x + y
        
        MsgBox "The result is " & z
        

        End Sub `

        I’m a VBA developer now. I’m entitled to get my own API, right?

        Oh, but that’s not all, there’s also a Whitespace version of my program.

        `Here is a possible whitespace code that adds two numbers together 1+1:

          		 	 	 	 	 	 # push 1
          		 	 	 	 	 	 # push 1
          		 	 	 	 # add
          		 	 	 # print as number
          		 	 	 	 	 # exit
        ``` `
        
        Before you ask, Wthisepace is an actual programming languga, alot like Brainfuck.
