"upsert" is actually a useful word

my dad told me a funny story about his first job offer... the person giving him the offer handed him an envelope with an offer letter. it was decent, but he'd gotten a higher offer elsewhere, and said so. so she pulled out another identical envelope except the number was higher. he almost wanted to ask how many envelopes she had, but just took the second offer. this was a few decades ago. the more things change, I guess...
