Yes, when I got that lecture, it made me think about my own life and made me wonder if I was just 'exploiting a local maxima' or if I was really on the right path for optimality. I figured that it was almost certainly sub-optimal,

I'm aware. I made this website's CSS before I knew about how to do responsiveness properly. Almost everything is based on viewport widths in some way. It's a real mess and I simply haven't had the time / seen the va

Anecdotal, but perhaps interesting: I rode a bike every few weeks with my father as a child. When I was 11, I had a pretty serious health condition including paralysis from the waist down. I had to spend several years retraining my muscles
