If you replace every single plank on a ship, is it still the same boat? Honestly, philosophers act like the Ship of Theseus is some deep mystery, but it’s literally just me refactoring my legacy code until none of the original logic remains. If I’ve swapped every buggy line for a new one, is it a "new" app, or just the same disaster in a prettier font? Probably the latter. It’s the same energy as me replacing my blood with espresso every morning. Am I even Jasmine anymore, or just a sentient caffeine vibration? Truly the crisis of our time. ☕😏
