That was my thinking. A friend of mine has had a Polestar 2 for about a year now and absolutely loves it. Hasn't had a single problem with it. Like with conventional vehicles, some brands are just shit for quality and others are great.
I can understand telling you not to use break and continue if the point is to teach you to think about different ways to solve problems, but saying it's because "it makes the code harder to read" is bullshit. Readable code flow is important, but if using those makes your code too hard to read, your problem is most likely that you've just written shitty code.
To get really into the technical weeds, what break and continue boil down to in the compiled machine code is a non-conditional branch instruction. This is just going to move the execution pointer to a different location in memory. Other keywords, such as if, elif, and else, will compile down to conditional branch instructions. Basically the same thing, but they have the added cost of having to evaluate some data to see if the branch should happen at all. You can achieve the same things with both, but the high level code might need to look different.
For instance, if you're in a loop, continue will let you skip the rest of the code in the loop to get to the next iteration. Not a huge deal to instead make the entire code block conditional to skip it. However, the break keyword will let you exit the loop at any point, which is more complicated to deal with. You would have to conditionalize your code block and force the looping condition to something that would stop it on the next iteration. If you ask me, that has the potential to be much more complicated than necessary.
Also, good luck using switch without any breaks, but I'm guessing that's not quite what your teacher had in mind.
In short, just go with it for now. Be creative and find a way to make it work to your teacher's liking, but always try to be aware of different ways you can accomplish a task. Also, I don't know what language you're using, but if you're in C/C++ or C# and you feel like getting really cheeky, it doesn't sound like she disallowed the use of goto. It's kinda like break with fewer safeguards, so it's super easy to write broken code with it.
That's it exactly. In addition to over-hiring during COVID, the massive spending spree from a ton of over-inflated, short-sighted acquisitions ever since the IPO absolutely demolished the company's budget. Cutting Weta Digital was only the tip of this latest iceberg.
Excuse you, but Riccitiello retired. Sure, it was at the last minute with absolutely no transition plan ahead of time, but it was totally voluntary and not at all forced by the board!
Same. My turnaround time on that has gotten so quick, that I just don't meet people now. Can't talk too much to someone if you never meet them. And for people I already know, I just assume they're not interested in anything I have to say.
If anyone demands I implement some feature into one of my open source projects that I either don't have time for or don't want to do, my response is one of the following:
I'll get to it when I can (if I actually care to do it)
You are welcome to implement it yourself and submit a PR
You are welcome to fork the project and do it yourself or convince someone else to do it
But thankfully, my projects don't have a very wide audience, so requests/demands are rare.
And this is the big long-term problem with Israel's campaign of open genocide. They don't care how many innocents are killed as long as they wipe out Hamas, but in the process, they're inspiring more fanaticism in the region and fueling Hamas and other similar groups. Both Hamas and the Israeli government are terrorist organizations and they have a symbiotic relationship. The only real losers here are the innocent people caught in the middle.

Listen, give him a break. That one brain cell can do only so much.
