The Ruby on Rails guides use "please" when suggesting other resource to read or best practices to follow. For example: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/autoloading_and_reloading_constants.html I've not seen this docs convention before. I certainly see the appeal for describing best practices: "your collaborators will appreciate it!"

Imagine we JIT compiled syscall handlers in the kernel, based on runtime facts about known constants: https://blog.regehr.org/archives/1676 An interesting idea that's little explored since Alexia Massalin's phD. Arguably unikernels have some similarities, but compiler tech is more mature now.

Interesting LLVM thread on inlining: https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-April/097891.html (great idea wrt inlining when arguments are constants)
