And how often can you repeat this until you have effectively solved the optimum, and the situation devolves into zero-sum anyway? Are we growing the pie, or are we just rediscovering how big the pie is by optimizing better? >Monopoly is

Sounds very "no true Scotsman" and people are taking this way too senior vs junior. If you are a junior wanting to become a senior or prove themselves as being more than junior, but find yourself in scenarios where management isn

There's some truth in your statement that most people do not wish to admit and are quick to dismiss as "rebellious, arrogant juniors". I generally see two kind of seniors. The first group is senior in terms of experience and

Agency and effort. Or rather, let's change the latter statement so it sounds less entitled: "Why am I not earning as much as you? I should be able to" The latter statement requires the speaker to admit they screwed up. They c
