I used to think that my favorite food was meatloaf, because my mom would make it and it was pretty much the greatest thing ever.
Then one day I had dinner at a friend’s house, and we ate meatloaf that his mom made. It was good, but in my mind, it didn’t compare to my mom’s.
That’s when I realized that the quality of a compliant meatloaf recipe is implementation-specific.
